Beef stew

Neighbor across the street brought me a bowl of beef stew last night so I had it for lunch today. It was thick and delicious.  I think it fits the Wide Wednesday theme of man made. Thanks to StevenG for hosting.

It's really cold and super windy today. There's all kinds of weather warnings, including wind chills to 15°/-9.4°. We have a 40% chance of a little snow tomorrow. This is frigid for us. No where to go so I'm doing stuff around the house to keep myself busy.  Boy, does time go by slowly sometimes.
 My computer is on the blink so I'm going to call for remote service this evening.  I hope it can be sorted tonight so I can do the MM results tomorrow! Cross your fingers.

Pondering

1. Is it good if a vacuum really sucks?
2. Why is the third hand on the watch called the second hand?
3. Why do we say something is out of whack? What is a whack?
4. Why does "fat chance" and "slim chance" mean the same thing?
5. Why is it called "after dark" when it really is "after light"?
6. Doesn't "expecting the unexpected" make the unexpected expected?
7. How come abbreviated is such a long word?
8. Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?
