I have been known to worry about widows and orphans in my blog entries and comments, despite the fact that I know full well that they'll look completely different for people using different monitors, browsers, and fonts than me. Moreover, I have continued doing this even after realizing that my Live Entry Preview isn't exactly the same width as my actual blog entries, meaning that not even I see the same thing when I look at my blog page as when I write the entries. In fact, because the actual entries are slightly narrower than the LEP, all the work I put into creating perfect blocks of text causes more orphaned words than you'd expect if I didn't worry about it all. See, right now, I can't finish this paragraph because "all" was on its own line.
Speaking of the book about carnies, have you read it? You should.

I have. I gave it as a present and, as is my wont, read it beforehand. (That's what I don't like about shipping directly from Amazon.) It was good. And violently green!

No, no, wait, it wasn't violently green. I'm thinking of All Families Are Psychotic. Geek Love was garishly orange.

"all" starts a new line in my view.

Then I am not quite alone in the world.
