This was almost too easy. This wreck was just about a block from the office, and let me tell you, it caused a MAJOR traffic disruption. This photo was taken before the EMS, Fire and Police responders arrived on the scene. South FIrst Street is already a major North/South corridor in the city, and this did not help things, AT ALL! not sure how it happened, but it happened, and I hope no one was injured. The front end of this car does not look great however.Today was a pretty good day, better than pretty good really. I left REALLY early so I could make sure I got to FAR south Austin for a nine o'clock class. Made it with time to spare. Class started at 9, I got there about 8:30. Sweet. It was a good class, mostly really experienced (old) brokers, of which I include myself in that description. Lots of good names, and particularly a good friend and colleague of mine, Jim. A good time was had by all, and everyone (including and especially me) walked out of the class knowing something we didn't know when we walked in. That is my barometer of a good class.
Oneiric -- Adjective: of or relating to dreams. dreamy. "Most of the actors here are double and triple cast, and if they barely differentiate among their roles, that just adds to the oneiric effect." Jeffrey Gantz, The Boston Globe, March 12, 2012
Did You Know? The notion of using the Greek noun oneiros (meaning "dream") to form the English adjective oneiric wasn't dreamed up (get it?) until the mid-19th century. But back in the early 1600s, linguistic dreamers came up with a few oneiros spin-offs, giving English oneirocriticism, oneirocritical, and oneirocritic (each referring to dream interpreters or interpretation). The surge in oneiros derivatives at any time may have been fueled by the interest then among English-speaking scholars in Oneirocritica, a book about dream interpretation by 2nd-century Greek soothsayer Artemidorus Daldianus.
