liptonrm_backupWow, it's storming something fierce this morning. Cool.
Last night I kind of half woke up around 4AM. A couple seconds later my power went out so I had to get up and set the alarm on my cell phone. It wasn't storming but I'm sure all of the air conditioners and fans and things that were running in the city last night contributed to a little electrical burp.
I just have to get through today and then BAM! two weekends of camping. Have become increasingly nervous about monetary funds but will not let poverty stand in the way of having some good, old fashioned fun, gorramit. Swimming and lounging and driving and playing with the Pup. I can feel the stress draining out of me by just thinking about it. *big theraputic sigh*
Stepped into a local used bookstore the other day. I'd always meant to go in but ... well, anyway, it was great. The owner was an aging hippie with long, grey hair. The shop smelled of book dust, coffee and hashish. It was soothing to walk in there and escape from the rat race by browsing the shelves, if only for a little while.
It's going to be a great weekend, for all of us. Cheers!
Word Origin of the Day: Forbidden - The Gothic word farubiudan is the precedent here. This comes from the root word beodan, meaning "to offer." When combined, as in the Old English form Forbeodan, the meanin is shifted to indicate a "command to not offer." Beodan went on to infulence the modern English verb "bid." Faurbiudan also has links to other Germanic words, including the modern German owrd verboten.
