Ha! Cabin fever? I wish! We’ve been out blowing and shoveling snow
about every two days for as long as I can remember. I don’t spend
this much time outside in summer. <g>
Just yesterday (Saturday), we went to breakfast, and when we came
home I hauled out the snowblower and roof rake, and spent a couple of
hours trimming the snow paths, shoveling areas the blower won’t
reach, and then manipulating a thousand-foot roof rake (hyperbole
alert!) along the second storey roof to prevent ice dams. Today, I’m
overdosing on Vitamin I (ibuprofen) because I hurt from my neck and
shoulders down to my knees.
Wouldn’t I just love to hunker down inside for weeks on end with
nothing to do but rant on Facebook, read, cook and eat. Yum!
Of course there’s always time to haul out the pedantry trousers and
get after those begging questions. <g>

No! No! Arrrrggggggg! Improper use of begging the question. Begging
the question refers to circular reasoning and stands alone. No
question follows begging the question. All of this _raises_ some
questions . . . etc. Wikipedia: Begging the question means
"assuming the conclusion (of an argument)", a type of circular
reasoning. This is an informal fallacy where the conclusion that
one is attempting to prove is included in the initial premise of an
argument, often in an indirect way that conceals this fact.
Sorry. It's my most persistent language neurosis. Chris B has his
pluperfect and I have my begging questions. <g>
