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”.
Augury
Noun
Pl - auguries
Middle English augurie, from Old French, from Latin augurium, from augur, augur; see augur.]
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for 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....

It is sunny and 62 here, but it got down to 28 last night-glad I held off on planting my baby salad green seeds till this week-
The augury being practiced
By Obama’s various minions
Are obviously based upon
False or faulty opinions
Despite the “draconian cuts”
That were to be feared by all
School doors are not closing-
Planes have not begun to fall
Life don’t seem much tougher
Than the tough we already had
But that just isn’t saying much-
Things were already pretty bad...
The dollar store had those squishy vinyl balls with tentacles all over and flashing lights inside, for a buck each. I couldn’t resist buying two for the pets-Husky girl tried to carry one away a couple of times, but she spat it out and bared her teeth at it-I don’t think she likes the texture of the tentacles.
Midget girl hid under the plant stand when the lights in it started blinking, Yeti boy only showed mild curiosity, and Titus did a couple of drive-by swat-and-hisses at it, then ran off to play chase with Midget. Not a very interesting toy, apparently-I’m glad they were only a dollar each...
Or Febury, the month just past...
New from Mayor Dumbass:

“We are spending money we don’t have,” Mr. Bloomberg explained. “It’s not like your household. In your household, people are saying, ‘Oh, you can’t spend money you don’t have.’ That is true for your household because nobody is going to lend you an infinite amount of money. When it comes to the United States federal government, people do seem willing to lend us an infinite amount of money. … Our debt is so big and so many people own it that it’s preposterous to think that they would stop selling us more. It’s the old story: If you owe the bank $50,000, you got a problem. If you owe the bank $50 million, they got a problem. And that’s a problem for the lenders. They can’t stop lending us more money.”
And now Mayor Luke has announced he is not running for re-election.
A+++ always love your poems. it’s a lot colder and lots more miserable here. planting is months away. sometime after Mother’s Day.
Thank you!
Only seeds of cool weather stuff like salad greens and broccoli, etc can be sowed now-most other seeds and all flower and veggie plants don’t go in the ground till April-I’ve got my veggie seeds started inside, by the french doors. Last average freeze up here is late March to early April.
Good idea, Luke!
I said to my wife last night “a young guy, he got divorced, in trouble for his bodyguards using slush fund credit cards while he is traveling, this is going to get ugly”
Then on the late news I see the FBI subpoened credit card records for a “gentlemen’s club” in McKees Rocks.
Love a dem sex scandal,
