I wonder what the (presumably) new to this area students and faculty, who I saw wearing puffy coats this morning, will do when it actually gets cold? It was 56 degrees this morning on my way into campus.

I wonder what they'll do when it warms up later on today, if they aren't close to a place where they can leave their puffy coats so that they aren't sweltering.

Imagine sorting children into groups by skin color, then labelling them as to either their merit or their blame for something done hundreds of years ago. Some kids (mixed) wouldn't know which group they belong to. Imagine the stress deciding! Get out your dictionary, look up 'oppressor.' What an absolutely dastardly, perverted activity. Worse yet, the dishonesty of those who pretend not to see what an abomination it is. Know what's behind this movement? Very simple. Hatred.

I knew someone in college whose last name was Onions. But it isn't that.

We had neighbors with the last name of Wortel.  That's the Dutch word for carrot or root.  Dutch family so it made sense.

C'est vrai.

Here's a clue. It's an Italian word.

Upon undertaking thorough research on the internet, I conclude that legumes are flowering plants, not flowers. A legume is any plant that bears its fruit inside a pod. Legume is an umbrella term that includes beans and pulses. Thus, all beans are considered a legume, but not all legumes are considered beans.
