Words for Dictionary

Pfui! – variant spelling of phooey: an exclamation of disgust, aversion, dislike, contempt, or annoyance.

Thievery – A more common way to say thievery is theft, or in a police report, larceny. It’s easy to see where the word thievery comes from — to thieve is to steal, and both words come from the Old English root þeof, or thief.

Legal Change of Name

There might be a councilor here at the Casa Esperanza that could help me change my name back to Hugh Farrell.

My most recent attempt to get it right, Hugh Farrell, is with one of those TV programs that settles court matters; Judge Judy. Can she change my name?

The reason I can’t change my name back to Hugh Farrell with the county is because I have a case with the William Lewis name. The judge says no to the name change for consistency. I’m not trying to get away with anything. It’s circumstantially Hugh because that’s how I am called at home by staff and my peers.

I guess from here I collect my legal insight. Everyone calls me Hugh. That is meaningful to me: Hugh Farrell AA.

I want to get it back legally.

Roosevelt, Kermit. “An insurrectionist for president; Trump is running despite the 14th Amendment. He’s not the first to do so.” Los Angeles Times, October 1, 2023, p. A23.

I was reading about the War in Ukraine. They think that Trump is still President. I wish I could reassure them he is not coming back.

It looks like he’s guilty. I think he is hurting us.

This is a project I want to work on.

187 ml Bottles

Katherine Cole. “How the Trinchero Family Built a Wine Empire.” daily.sevenfifty.com/. https://daily.sevenfifty.com/how-trinchero-built-a-wine-empire/#trinchero-1: January 4, 2018

A similarly savvy move was the Trincheros’ prescient early investment in what has become a common sight these days—the single-serving bottle, or “split.”

The Trincheros commissioned research in the 1980s that determined that the increasing number of American adults living alone were hesitant to purchase full-sized bottles of wine for themselves.

The only single-serving sizes available at that time were the plastic 187 ml bottles used by airlines, so Roger Trinchero custom-ordered a small glass bottle mold for Sutter Home. Today, Sutter Home sells more than half of all 187 ml–sized wines in the United States.

It was a plan to build a new house with the old boarding house as an example. As it was getting closer to finishing the new house and the threat was that the old boarding house would be destroyed, the staff started listening to Nirvana. It was telling the staff in Tagalog to not destroy the old house. It was once a place for Samuel Clemens to do his thinking before going to San Francisco.

We have a tendency to unlearn things. Saving this house is probably an example of what we need to relearn periodically. I don’t want anyone to destroy the old house. I stayed at the new house when it was a mental health place in 1998. The same thing happened there as at the old house. It is Felton, California, there is gravity.

Could you please arrange to have a plaque placed on the front door saying that this house is a significant historical property? If so, I wouldn’t notice, but other people will. And, it could save the house. At the very least, the city planning office has a file on the property. To save the house the city planning office would be a good place to start.
