May 30 Riddle
Rosta is making a batch of beer, but each of his beer-making buckets have one too many holes due to Kid 3's science experiment. Chairman Joe and Thor each have one bucket. CJ's bucket holds exactly five gallons and Thor's three gallons. How can Rosta measure exactly four gallons of water into the five gallon bucket?*
Words I looked up this week: asymptote, delusion, himpathy, purport
I'm still spending time with Molly and Franzi, on this last day of their time in Minnesota before heading to the Grand Canyon tomorrow. Today's edition of Wannaskan Almanac Word-Wednesday gives you an interesting word challenge to hold you over until next week so that I can be with them: Come up with at least two words containing double letters for the following letters:
A [e.g., aarde]
H
I
K
U
V

From A Year with Rilke, May 30 entry:
Letters to a Young Poet, Rome 1904
No area of human existence is so burdened with conventions as love between two people. There are life-preservers of the most varied invention, life-boats and safety vests; society has fashioned rescue strategies of every description. Since it has chose to make love as an easy pleasure, it must make it as cheap and safe as all public amusements should be.
Be better than yesterday, learn a new word today, and to stay out of trouble - at least until tomorrow.
