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. Practice makes perfect.....post on....


opacity \O*pac"i*ty\, noun:
opacities; noun, plural
opacitly; adverb

1. The quality or state of being opaque.
2. Something opaque.
3. Obscurity; impenetrability.
4. Dullness of mind.

The opacity of the logic of Runaway Dems has truly baffled me, don't they realize they are acting more like children than the adults they purport to be?
--RikaStrom, WFTD Teacher

LOL!!!!

Fortunately the worst of it happened after the kis were home from school. Hubby went out to the store for me after he got home from work and all the talk in the corner mart was about cars having been caught up in the water and others being abandoned because they conked out.

My truck can take 24-36 inches of slow moving water. Fast water would float it away. Wew have had the lake at entrance of neighborhood flood the road 4 times this year. Never happened in the previous 4 years. The end timers are having a field day with this weather.
