Yesterday...

Yesterday... Written by Shir (4/10/2003 10:39 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Oh, pfft! Stewart ;-p, penned by Cheryl

] You know, I used to be perfect... ;-p

] Sorry for the typo, Shir. An Augur was an anceint Roman seer soothsayer. So, "to augur" is to predict, or foretell, especially from signs or omens.

] Hope that helps, and sorry for the confusion!

...I didn’t know either word. Today I know both. I am all the richer!!
