Today was kind of like a Saturday/Sunday hybrid. Some things we did today were normal Sunday things. Breakfast, newspaper, naptime to watch CBS Sunday Morning. Then there was putzing to be done around the house, and I got quite a bit done, surprisingly. The Saturday things came in the sense that we went in to Georgetown for lunch at Schlotzsky's, made a run to the pool store ($129) and to the HEB for some turkey wieners to take to the office. Then a quick trip through the drive through at Dairy Queen (to get Jody a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard), and then back home. We watched a movie (Crazy Rich Asians), and then Joe Mac called. He and Carolyn are planning a trip at the end of June, and that will be fun! Always happy to have them come for a visit! After it was pretty well dark, I went out to the chicken coop to put the chicks on the roost. A couple of them had been roosting, but most of them just huddled up on the floor. I am going to try and get them used to roosting, and I am thinking it may just take a little patience; not like potty training a kid or anything, but patience none the less. This picture looks much worse than the coop really is, but remember, it is a chicken coop, and chickens have no real issues with pooping anywhere they damn well please!Comminute -- Verb. to reduce to minute particles. pulverize. "Food is incised and comminuted when the mandible is returned to the centric position by contraction of the muscles of mastication." A.Bryan Wade, Basic Peridontology, 2nd Ed,. 1965
Did You Know? What do comminute, pulverize, and triturate all have in common? All three words are derived from Latin and share meaning "to reduce to small particles." Comminute can be traced back to the prefix com- and the verb minuere, meaning "to lessen." Pulverize descends from a combination of pulver-, meaning "dust" or "powder," with the suffix -izare, which can mean "to cause to be." Triturate is borrowed from the past participle of the Latin triturare, which means "to thresh." Triturate refers to the use of rubbing or grinding to achieve pulverization.
