Elaine and I just got back from having supper at our Village restaurant, with our friend, Rose Marie. Nice food. My steak (fillet mignon) was cooked exactly right and was the most delicious I have ever had.
Hillary Clinton wiped the floor with Donald Trump last night in their first debate. Donald kept sniffling and when asked about it later, he said it wasn't him, it was the microphone. He came off as the big bully he is, and yet, I heard some of his supporters say he had won the debate. I guess they watched something other than I did.
Vital Question.. now answered
Bruce Holland has revealed the 8 vegetables in V8: tomatoes, carrots, celery, beets, parsley, lettuce, watercress and spinach.
Colors Words
Ed Glomski reports the following in Integra:
Black: a truly black object absorbs all the colors of the visible spectrum and reflects none of them to the eyes... so black is not a color, but a lack of color.
White: A white object reflects all the colors of the visible light spectrum to the eyes .. so white is a color.
Orange: named after the fruit. Before its name change, it was known in English as "geoluhread."
Purple: there words that rhyme with purple:
1. Curple: a strap under a horse's saddle that stops the saddle from kicking forward.
2. Hirple: to walk with a limp.
3. Nurple: a word created in the late 17th century to describe the color of childrens' skin.
Special Note: Some women are tetra chromatic, meaning that they can perceive roughly 100 times more colors than a normal person.
Biblical Words
I read where the New American Bible has changed some words that they found questionable.
Booty .. has been replaced by Spoils of war.
Virgin .. has been replaced by young woman.
