Happy Thor’s Day, dear Wordlers! It’s hot outside. Summer is starting to break a sweat and part of me would love to have a pool in my backyard, even though it would be ridiculous in one of the snowiest cities in the United States.
Here in the mountains, no one has air conditioning, so we have to sweat. Fortunately, our space stays cool. Best of all, in my office, which is a changed grass shed in my garden, I just installed an air conditioning window unit, which helps keep it cool and cool. This is a great replacement for the suffocating furnace it used to be. Working in an oven, heated through my PC and the scorching sun, is not conducive to productivity.
Anyway, I posted a riddle. Today I publish the answer. This was one of the riddles of the new movie Mission Impossible: The Dead Count Part 1 (read my review here).
The riddle: what helps keep going down but never happens?
Answer: Tomorrow.
Alright, let’s make this Wordle!

Today’s Message
My initial guess was essentially because my youngest son had just turned 13, which makes me feel old. The opposite of young. He didn’t convert many boxes, just one yellow, but he reduced the number of imaginable responses from about 2300 to just 109.
My guess at the time was correct, either literally and by definition, and I reduced that number to just 9. I was eager to get the answer at this point, but that word was just juggling the letters I already had, leaving me with one foul and only two. Answers imaginable, even if I didn’t know it at the time.
I thought about the barge before I guessed how big, but the coin or the roll and I chose wrong. Too bad! At least they gave me Wordle. . . At last.
My winning streak is over. Guessing in five means that I lose 1 point and also lost to the vile Wordle Bot, who hit only three. Today it’s -2 problems and I’m thankful it’s not 2XP on Friday!Hoozah!
The word “barge” has an attractive etymology. It comes from the old French word “barge” or “barke”, which referred to a small deep-sea ship. This Old French term goes back to the Latin word “boat”, which had a meaning.
The Latin word “boat” was borrowed from the ancient Greek word “barkē,” which meant a small boat or fishing boat. The Greek term probably had Phoenician origins, as the Phoenicians were professional sailors who influenced Mediterranean cultures.
Over time, the meaning of “barge” broadened to refer to larger, flat-bottomed vessels that were used to transport goods along rivers and canals. in Europe, especially during the Industrial Revolution.
Today, the term “barge” refers to a large, flat-bottomed ship that is used to transport goods along rivers and canals, or as a cult ship in ports. Possibly it also refers to a similar boat that is used for recreational purposes.
