Scottish phrases
I enjoyed the Sept. 24 Home Forum essay, 鈥I am taught by towels.鈥 I鈥檝e read English and historical romantic novels and Terry Pratchett鈥檚 鈥淲ee Free Men鈥 series, so I鈥檝e picked up a smattering of Scottish words. They are fun!

More photos
The Sept. 3 People Making a Difference article about Ayr Muir would benefit from more photos involving the food or one of the Clover Food Lab restaurants. I also want to know what other cities these restaurants are in. What this article did do was arouse my interest; I went to their website and found out what I needed to know. I am so glad I know about this restaurant that is 鈥渙n a mission,鈥 and it made me wish one was in my city. Thank you.

Reading habits
Regarding Ronald W. McLean鈥檚 Oct. 1 letter: Yes, there are people who read each issue from back to front, and I am one of them. I started reading that way years ago and for the same reasons. Reading his letter made me smile. And how I miss John Gould鈥檚 essays! But Robert Klose鈥檚 are the next best thing. I have saved every one. May the Monitor and Mr. Klose 鈥渨rite on鈥 for many years.

Learning about the Amazon
Kudos to Amanda Paulson for her great Oct. 1 cover story. Interesting about mosquitoes. I always thought they were everywhere in the Amazon since a friend had to come inside while emailing me from there because his screen became so blackened! The article told me more about that part of the world than I was ever taught or had read about before.
