Heh heh...bit of a late start this morning. I got to the station before realizing that I'd brought the wrong car and thus didn't have the key to the station! After a mad dash home and back, it was all good (I think we were only off the air for five minutes or so, thanks to my warp speed drive across town and back). I expect the station manager to arrive and vent on me soon...

80's HADES Word Of The Day

rime (rahym) n.

An opaque coating of tiny, white, granular ice particles, caused by the rapid freezing of supercooled water droplets on impact with an object.

Example -- "Oh! But he was a tight-fisted hand at the grindstone, Scrooge. a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner! Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster. The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, shrivelled his cheek, stiffened his gait; made his eyes red, his thin lips blue; and spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice. A frosty rime was on his head, and on his eyebrows, and his wiry chin. He carried his own low temperature always about with him; he iced his office in the dog-days; and didn't thaw it one degree at Christmas.", from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
