Galling, a word from Newfoundland describing not only strong winds but the way cats act before a storm. Such as: Cats will go crazy when Vance pushes through approval of the 25th amendment on a demented president.

Hi Alan. A clever an insightful piece. Here's one to add to the list: In Newfoundland lingo the work "galing" is a multi-purpose word, describing not only strong winds, but singing, the way cats act before a storm and the way toddlers runabout when they are meant to go bed.

I love this comparison. It’s all so very true. Thanks for entertaining me this morning and starting my day off with some levity.

Seems to me the first order of the business for an essay writer is to entertain, or at least make the attempt.
