font-family:Helvetica'> I drove my TR3 to work the
other morning. When I left my home at o'dark thirty it was in the mid-50's and
I wore a leather coat. I live at about the mile high elevation in the southern
Sierras. When I left my work in Mojave that afternoon, it was 109 degrees. The
car interior felt hotter and hotter inside as I drove and I was looking forward
to getting up the hill to cooler temperatures. Soon thereafter I ran
across a new proper English word - "Calescent" which means
"growing warm; increasing in heat". I also enjoy using the word
"Recalcitrant" to describe the TR's too-fast-a-shift from 1st to 2nd,
"recalcitrant" meaning <span class=ydp70ea1781one-click>"resisting</span><span

handy many times, especially at parties, is "calipygous". I use it in

list recently would be "Fluif". I can't remember who used that
misspelling two decades ago, but it has still stuck in my vocabulary. Who was
that? Are you still on the list? I think that his name was Joe-something.
