I was taught the -30- symbol in journalism class. In those days we turned in our stories typed, double-spaced, on yellow newsprint paper, 8-1/2 x 11" from home - then deliver it to the newsroom for the editor to review before it was set in type. The -30- was to let the copy typist know this was the end of the story. We also put most important facts first, leaving the least important until the end. To write a story with a teaser at the beginning and not tell the main fact until the end was 'burying the lead,' and seriously frowned upon.

nah not keen on todays joke....never mind! Lucky you getting rain, getting very dry here. All the big rain went around us so that we just got dripping showers but they keep pour grass green and my flowers are looking pretty now. I have planted into bigger pots and fed them and given them good mulchy soil; flowers are smiling at me in most pots.
