and........................................ (are you in my head?) why isn't the past participle of drink, drought?. I think today and I thought yesterday. I drink today so I drought yesterday - ha , ha, ha, ha, ha, - Of course, we could say --- I have to drink a lot today because I was in a drought yesterday. ???

I sure hope you're laughing or at least smiling. The English language is a wonderful thing, isn't it?
