Everyone calls himself a friend, but only a fool relies on it; nothing is commoner than the name, nothing rarer than the thing.

In some written correspondence, I referred to Des Moines as DSM. Leslie said that reminded her of the DSM IV (The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders). I had not considered that before. Maybe that is why there aren't a series of cities named Des Moines. It would be fine for DSM I through DSM III. After that it would get a little dicey.
