Is this perfectly clear now?

I don't know if the event still exists, but
a Czech emigre did explain it to me once in
terms that approach the clarity here.
Throughout, the piece makes an admirable
attempt at exploiting consistency in English
grammar. For instance, the past tense of "do"
is "doed".

When you navigate there, make sure the final
paranthesis is in the URL. Here's another
copy of the link:

To paraphrase an old Eastern European saying, the problem is in
your TV. All your links are fine, including the very first one. Whether
the parenthesis is included in the URL when you read, is a function of
your news reader - in your case GG - and that's something no newsgroup
literate should be using,

Sorry. I've lost interest in newsgroups and anything
not supported by Google fails to arouse my curiosity
except binaries of 19th century Texas schoolmarms with
names like Miss Hyacinth grilling their charges on the
Helmholtz equation.
Or Hyacinth topless, of course.
Speaking of 19th century Texans, I don't think
I've ever seen a picture of Mrs. Baird, the
baker. I'd like not to see her bread on
grocery shelves.
Have taken to buying a fat little baguette at
Walmart (it's only a buck) where they change
the label from "Italian bread" to "French
bread" at about noon. If they could just produce
sourdough... but there's no palate for that
around here.

Your loss, then. Can't help. :)

Whose curiosity wouldn't be "aroused" by these images, I wonder.

What kinds of bread do Texans eat? Sourdough seems to be pretty
standard on the East Coast, although I personally don't like it. I
prefer breads with benefits - like with kalamata olives, or garlic
peppercorn, or onion rye. Today I saw pretzel bread in the local
supermarket, but it was too expensive for its size, so I abstained. But
it looked and felt very proper, indeed.

A coarse white bread that does not toast well.
In Texas, there are two choices: yesterday's
Mrs. Baird's, or the day before yesterday's
Mrs. Baird's.

You gave my sympathy, then. At first I thought you were making
generalized fun of Texas bread, but now I looked it up, and not only was
there actually a Mrs. Baird who made bread, but her name was Ninnie to boot.
Don't give up. Cheers!
