Today's Picture

Every once in a great while I feel a need to clear the junk from my virtual desk.
Stuff accumulates you know.
Right now there is a pile of three words that I have to sweep into the virtual waste basket.
I was going to do this really clever blog based on the things you have to type in on some blogs to leave a comment.
I was going to take the next three things and pretend they were words.
Then I would ask you to make up a definition for each word and we would pick the best definitions.
I was even thinking of giving a priceless prize for the one we choose.
So what went wrong you ask.
Well here are the three words:
Acing —– Rache —— Gumpings
They all turned out to be real words.
I looked them up in Google.

Acing– To earn a high grade as “ He was known for acing his tests.”
Rache comes to us out of the German Wraka and means revenge. “ The rache of the escaped criminal was swift and brutal”.
Gumpings– To put somebody new into a famous movie scene for some other purpose such as a commercial. “But this Gene Kelley gumping is out of this world. “
Now what are the chances of all three things being real words.
So I gave up on the idea and now I can clear them off my desk.

The one other pile on the desk are a bunch of questions about people who use linksy.
They want people to read and comment on their blog but often they don’t bother to do the same.
Is this fair?
Is it right?
Or is it a kind of cheating?
Well that is off my chest and into the virtual waste basket.
Now my virtual desk is all cleaned off.

News from Pigeon Falls

The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal
Eino heard from his friend at Homeland Security and the fingerprints turned out to be Petrovich’s. That should be no surprise. He prepared each one and he wasn’t wearing gloves. Our intruder must have been.
Another surprise came this morning they looked at the video recorded over night. Starting at 10:00 the tape has one u-tube comedy after another instead of the white rabbit pictures it was supposed to have. Eino has no idea how this happened. In fact he didn’t even think it was possible but there it is. Even stranger nothing in the museum is out of place or looked like it was touched and the camera is working fine this morning.
The engineer on the late night train swears he saw the white rabbit at Gordon’s Crossing again last night. And again it waved and winked as he went by. To be honest nobody else on the train saw it. But it was very dark and the light from the engine was in front of the train not on the sides.
Tommy UK and Tammy are planning to go out to Gordon’s Crossing after school. They hope there might be some tracks in the new snow that came down yesterday.

Wrap UP

Just a quick note following the first comment. Wraka is an old German word not likely to be found in modern dictionaries much like many of Quilly's old words aren't found in modern dictionaries. Rache, on the other hand, is one of those words that came from a foreign language directly into English usage. Blame the American Germans.It was a good day today. I visited every blog on my friend's list. That took a long time.My sister Dawn called. Betty and Pennie and I went to the evening church service. The fcllowship was great. The special offering went to the woman's shelter and the director gave a five minute talk. The skit was very well done. Now I need a breathing treatment.
