A land of streams! proverb

 A land of streams! some, like a downward smoke,/ Slow-dropping veils of thinnest lawn, did go.
  Alfred, Lord Tennyson

 I usually tell people 'low and slow,' meaning to add weight to their lines so they stay low in the streams and move more slowly in swift waters. That's my advice for how they're going to catch fish in high-moving waters. This year, low and slow definitely describes the streams.

 The New Zealand dollar remains a downward-trending currency. The downward direction is implied by greater certainty about a slow economy.

 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD: / And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.

 I was dropping off my daughter and I saw the smoke and called the fire department.

 With the weather warming up, I know I'll be going to the Lawn and the gardens more often to study. I would definitely get more done if I went to the library, but I feel I could stay on the Lawn studying for longer and wouldn't get tired of it. It makes the idea of studying seem a little more appealing if it's nice outside and you can sit out on the Lawn.

 Three things drive a man out of doors: smoke, dropping water, and a shrew

 I have to drive over somebody's lawn to get to my place now because the road is gone, and it's been there with land to spare for 45 years.

 A lot of the pool league quit because they can't smoke. I think it's ridiculous. If you're 21 and older, they don't have the right to tell you not to smoke. All my employees smoke and you don't have to come in here if you don't want to be around smoke.

 We all knew it was going to slow down sooner or later. The cycle is on the downward slope of the peak, but we're going to be OK.

 This is a top-notch campaign with a real impact. Our work together is making a difference. People are getting the message and exposure to secondhand smoke is dropping in our state.

 From time to time, people are going to smell and see smoke. But there is one thing to remember: Whenever you smell wood smoke, it means that good land management - good stewardship - is going on in the forest.

 The market has shifted. Instead of land prices tending to push upward, more than likely, they're flat or downward.

 At Oak Lawn we have to raise the roadway about 7 feet to fit a new, wider Oak Lawn underneath. The bridge will be replaced, new pavements put through there.

 We're issuing this brown water advisory as a precaution because heavy rains are going to wash whatever pollution on the land into the streams and into the ocean.
