    Battle of Camifex Ferry?  Gurgle finds Carnifex Ferry, not Camifex.  Did the adjacent r and n undergo typographic fusion and become m-form, or are my aging eyes misreading the text?  Typographic fusion releases the energy that powers Murphy’s Law, I understand, also Muphry’s Law, and its decay products impair eyesight.

    But doesn’t everybody’s smart phones read to them? Why bother with these eye-things when the ear-things work just as well or better?
