It's Garbage Day!
Lurena McNamara sent me a great list of WORDS we should all KNOW. It starts with this sage advice -British novelist Evelyn Waugh once said, "One forgets words as one forgets names. One's vocabulary needs constant fertilization or it will die." Encarta editors picked some of their favorite words to nourish your vocabulary. They include:
GARBOLOGY: "study of waste materials: the study of a cultural group by an examination of what it discards," and
CULLET, which we should save for Wednesday morning.
At just about 4 o'clock, this morning, I heard that wonderful growl of engine and distinctive chatter of blade on pavement and the SNOWPLOW went by!
"Finally!" I thought, "children and snowmobilers and I will all be happy!" adding, "Thank you, 'Tapestry,' for making it snow!"
By the light of day, however, I realize that I can still see the tops of each blade of grass. A disappointment. But there's hope, beacuse the WKTV forecast reads:
- Monday: Cloudy with light snow. High 29 Low 18
- Tuesday: Partly sunny with snow showers. High 30 Low 19
- Wednesday: Cloudy with light snow. High 33 low 20
- Thursday: Mostly cloudy with snow showers. High 32 Low 17
