Mr Bob's hobby
Mr Bob bought himself an atlas for Christmas. He will sit on the couch and read it. He will tell me about the average population density of the Netherlands versus Canada. He will recite statistics on Novembers' rainfall in Sri Lanka.
He's so happy on the couch with his Atlas.
And speaking of nerds, does someone want to get Coco over here to check on the apostrophe in November?

It's November's. So there.
Now go and oogle your godchild in my blog.
I love looking at atlas's. Whenever DH and I are travelling by car, I will look through the road atlas and get totally engrossed in all the places.
Mr Bob = Dork
Bob = Dork lover
And Coco is right. November's.
Reading atlas on couch=nerd
Reading atlas in car=hip learner
Bob=hip as usual
So you guys are filling up my blog with equations and I'm the dork?
BTW Coco, I'm very sorry about the apostrophe.
I have a question about the apostrophe. If he is reading about ALL the Novembers for rainfall in many years, wouldn't it be Novembers' rainfall? For example, the rainfall in November 1999,2000,2001,2002,2003,2004, 2005 etc.? It looks strange to me, and I was just curious.
You would not use an apostrophe. You would say 'the standard rainfall for the month of November' or some such thing.
Oh, and I forgive you, Bob.
Uh oh. That makes him a nerd? Eeeek. I got myself a big huge Atlas a couple years back and would do the same thing to Michelle. She wasn't interested until I started to point out Malta. Her parents were both born in Malta. Suddenly she was interested in my silly little "map". Pfffffft.
Thank you, Coco. When in doubt, I rearrange the sentence.
Good for him.
I enjoy reading the dictionary. Sometimes, I'll be looking up a word and I'll find a more interesting one and I'll read a bunch of other words on that page. Then I'll forget what I was looking up in the first place.
I love my etymological dictionary best.
