him, he becomes angry,  and tries to turn it around

chased  a bunch of mini digital recorders  and  left
them on in the house when I'd go to work. Lo and
behold, my suspicions were correct.

My problem now is, how to confront him with the
proof.  I know he'll be angry. He keeps telling me
we need to work on our relationship.  But how is
that  possible  when he makes a phone call to his
girl friend every morning after I leave for work.?

The use of "existing" in a survey call means that the land
has either been surveyed before or that you are survey-
ing a new parcel of land to an older and existing survey
line or marker.  Existing Iron Pipe  (or Pin)  is an official
surveyor term.

Len wrote Sun 11/4/12 @14:05 EDT:

I'm not taking the bait on the "existing" challenge.  I have-
n't gotten over people's misuse of "literally."

But,  Len,  that's  easy.  When people say "literally,"  they mean
"figuratively" – i.e., just the opposite.  Just as when they say "ab-
solutely," they mean "relatively."

"Older" has meaning in reference to surveys. What "existing iron
pin" means to the surveyor is that he did not put it there. It means
nothing to a tree in the line, and all the iron pins in the line – those
placed by that surveyor and the older ones as well – are  existing
to those who come upon them later, including landowners, purch-
asers, visitors, trespassers, and even later surveyors.

Let's look at "existing" in another context:  Did Des Cartes say, "I
think; therefore I am existing"?  ("Cogito; ergo sum in esse"?  We
like Bill Braden's wife's reformulation better:  "Cogito;  ergo sum,
cogito":  "I think; therefore I am – I think.")

Why was there nothing in last week's Borf's weekly bonus about the shark
that fell from the sky onto a golf green at San Juan Capistrano,  California,
4 miles inland,  and the afterthought to add sea salt to the bucket of water
in which it was placed for rescue?

Let us count the reasons:

In the first place, it wasn't much of a shark:  It was a 2-foot "leopard shark."

It was found on a box at the 12th tee (not on a green) by a "course marshal."
Thus there was no proof  it  "fell from the sky"  (or that it startled any golfers
by a sudden appearance).   The  "fell from the sky"  report  was  conjecture,
based  on  instances of fish being carried into the air by avian predators and
dropped on land,  and on wounds on the shark.

And, finally, the more credible news sources reported that the bucket of wa-
ter in which the fish was carried back to the sea was salted to begin with.  A
last-second thought to add sea salt to the bucket seems to be a detail added
by a reporter thinking he was clever (or, not thinking).

But, thanks for writing.

The Indianapolis Star, following a failed experiment by the Louis-
ville Courier Journal, has turned off access to its web site by non-

that the New York Times it isn't – how long will it take the Star?).

clear the wreckage.

I've been with "Hank" for what seems like a hundred
years.  He is an alcoholic and a drug user.  He was in
and out of rehab several times last year.

Here's the real problem:  While in rehab he relapsed,
along with others,  and was kicked out.  I refused to
pick  him  up,  and they all stayed in a hotel together.
And Hank relied on another addict  (a  woman)  for
drugs and alcohol.

Hank's a good father, but I can't let this go.  He says
there was no affair, but I don't believe it.  How can I
forgive him?
