In a recent post, I said that a surname was unusual because only 1 in 33,333 families in the U.S. had that name. That may have been an overstatement. By comparison, Faithful Reader’s name is much rarer (1 in 50,000) and mine is extra rare (1 in 100,000).

All wheels must have a hub. A Ferris wheel has one, as the sun is the hub of the wheeling calendar. Fixed points they are, and best left undisturbed, for without them, nothing holds together.
