Back in Washington. I got this note from a structural engineer after my description of the Italian-style Portofino Bay Hotel in Orlando, where Rudy Giuliani made his last appearance as a candidate:

Byron,
Re: “They put boats in the harbor and even parked a Vespa – bolted into cement – at the water’s edge to make the scene a bit more realistic.”
A quick FYI for you. Referring to “cement” when you should be referring to “concrete” is like fingernails on a chalk board to those of us in the construction business. Cement is the binder that when mixed with sand, rock aggregate and water becomes concrete.
Thanks for your great work with NRO.

I have to confess I was going to ignore this until I mentioned it to my wife and she said it was exactly the sort of correction I would make with her.
