In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of two "Words for the Day".
1. vastation [noun, pronounced vas-TAY-shun, from Latin vastus empty, waste]
a. a renewal or purification through the burning away or destruction of evil attributes
b. obscure: devastation
2. vaticinal [pronounced va-TISS-in-ul, adjective, from Latin vaticinari to prophesy]
of, relating to, or containing prophecy: prophetic
Example sentence:
Another time.
Rules: Everyone should leave a post using one or more of the Words for the Day in one or more sentences.
The sentences should, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....

Well done! And thank you, I usually, but not always, try to pick words I don't remember encountering before. I'm entirely ignorant about cameras, but good luck!
It sure is. Sheesh.
HAH!!
Hah!! Poor ol' Blackhawks, I still remember Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita pretty well. Free taco. I literally have not eaten a taco since 1968 when I lived in Colorado Springs. You can get them up here, I just never bothered.
Speakin' of underexposed bottoms, (butt enough aboot Britteny), lettuce make sure that double's new camera only exposes himself once ....
Yeah, OK, but what aboot blindness??
Once is not enough, Robt.
The next door neighbor's intruder alarm went off about 1/2 hour ago, apparently triggered by some animal. I'm sure it awakened everyone at this end of the road, because lights came on at all four of the houses I could see from here when I went out to the gate to see what was going on. Since we are wide awake at our workday time, hubby is eating breakfast then is going back to bed-I threw another log on the fire and I'm going to settle down with a favorite book.
i "slept in" til 7 am this morning. it has finally cooled off and is 39 more seasonal degrees. Going up to 53. i can deal wtih this.

Are you sleepless, or slumming in Spain?
I'm having my usual insomnia out here on the Left Coast. How about you, do you have the same problem?
