weltschmerz \VELT-shmerts\, noun:

• Sentimental pessimism; sorrow that one feels and accepts as one's necessary portion in life.

Weltschmerz comes from German welt, "world" and schmerz, "pain." The term was coined by Jean Paul Richter in 1810.

History

• Treaty of San Ildefonso: secret pact in which Spain ceded Louisiana to France was signed (1800)
• Yosemite National Park: central California preserve called "the greatest marvel of the continent" was established (1890)
• Henry Ford introduced the first mass-produced automobile on the market. The 2-seater Model T cost $825. By 1927, when the Model T was phased out, production had become so streamlined that dealers were able to reduce the price to $300. While Ford did not invent the assembly line, he made it so much more efficient that it revolutionized the industry. In the very early days, it took 12 hours to produce an automobile. By 1913, when Ford opened his new, more efficient Model T factory, it took only 93 minutes; by the time the last Model Ts rolled off the line in 1927, a car was produced every 24 seconds. (1908)
• Walt Disney World: world's largest resort opened its doors southwest of Orlando (1971)

Three Contractors

"Three Contractors"

Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House.
One is from Chicago, another is from Kentucky, and the third is from New Orleans.
All three go with a White House official to examine the fence.
* The New Orleans contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil.
"Well," he says, "I figure the job will run about $9,000. That's $4,000 for materials, $4,000 for my crew and $1,000 profit for me."
* The Kentucky contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do this job for $7,000. That's $3,000 for materials, $3,000 for my crew and $1,000 profit for me."
* The Chicago contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, "$27,000."
The official, incredulous, says:
"You didn't even measure like the other guys. How did you come up with such a high figure? ”
The Chicago contractor whispers back:
"$10,000 for me, $10,000 for you, and we hire the guy from Kentucky to fix the fence."
* "Done!" replies the government official.
And that, my friends, is how the Government Stimulus plan worked.

Remember... Four boxes keep us free:
- The soap box,
- The ballot box,
- The jury box,
and...
- The cartridge box.

"I love my country. it's the government I'm afraid of!"

votary \VOH-tuh-ree\, noun:

1. One who is devoted, given, or addicted to some particular pursuit, subject, study, or way of life.

2. A devoted admirer.

3. A devout adherent of a religion or cult.

4. A dedicated believer or advocate.

Cold Anxiety

• When you hate the cold so much you take certain steps in your life to avoid cold situations. You miss out on events and other happenings because it is either 1) taking place on a cold night outside or 2) taking place on a night with a touch of cold and you are nervous that your sweater won't be warm enough. You do not fear the alarm clock, you fear the cold burst of air that will flow over your body once you pull the comforter off your body. You don't hate showering, but you hate the feeling of stepping out of the shower and toweling off so you either a) blow-dry your body before your hair, or b) install a sauna next to your shower. You also find yourself in a sweatshirt while others are wearing bathing suits and you stare in disbelief at how cold they must be!

"I didn't go meet my girlfriends out at the Marina tonight because I had too much cold anxiety!!"

 

"Why are you late for work?'

"My cold anxiety kept me in bed too long!"

 

"Why are you wearing a jacket in the summer?"

"cold anxiety!"
