perspicuity clarity of expression

When your speech has perspicuity, it has clarity, and is easily and clearly understood. When a book has perspicuity, it has lucidity, it is written in a style easily understood. A person of perspicuity expresses themselves very clearly and leaves no scope for confusion of their meaning.

compulsive behavior

Sometimes, when accomplishing a segment of my to-do list turns out to be particularly fulfilling, I find myself compulsively accomplishing similar tasks for the rest of the day. This phenomenon usually results in my free time being eaten up, and/or a new exciting way to organize my tax forms. However,today I may have turned this compulsive behavior into something slightly counter productive. So far today I’ve made 1 huge container of Beans & Rice, several jars of Eggplant Stew, and enough Potato Soup to feed a small army.
The entire process has brought me to the following two conclusions:

• I do not have the proper equipment to safely can foods at home

• If I care at all about responsibly utilizing everything I’ve made thus far I will be forced to binge for the next few weeks. (and that will be my excuse this time).

Sunset

Same hill, same bus, this time on the way back from LCC. The horizon was lit up with a vibrant red. The sky was clear and you could see a crescent moon, Jupiter, and Venus.
Incidentally wearing head phones makes me forget that other people are around and at some point I realized I was talking to myself (loudly) about all the pretty colors.

Sunrise

I saw the most amazing sunrise this morning on the way to school. The light was eerie and beautiful and you could tell it was going to be a good one. I always look out the window and usually feel like I’m the only one noticing how gorgeous the land/skyscape is but this time was different. As the bus reached the crest of a hill a new layer of mountain and sky was revealed and everyone craned their necks and slid in their seats to get a better view. Strangers on the bus were nudging each other saying “look”. At the time I searching my mind for some good adjectives but I haven’t come up with anything yet… maybe I’ll try my hand at it later but I just have to write this down now before I forget. It’s a rare occasion when everyone on the bus stops what they’re doing to collectively focus all attention on one thing.

(Usually that only happens when there’s something wrong with the bus. Although it happened once when we pulled up next to a German Shepherd wearing flight goggles who was peeking out of the back seat of an SUV.)
