In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “word for the day”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

Peaceful dozing is perfect....

I must've slept funny, because I woke up with it like this. The original cause is a very sorry young man with a very large truck. Uninsured, naturally. We were both in the wrong place at the wrong time, some 7 yrs ago. I stopped; he didn't. Well, he did, but with his truck 4" inside my wrangler.
