For your consideration ...


Is everyone "braced" for the coming "winter chill?" Do people "brace" for bad news? Do people "brace" for a possible war? Does the government apparatus "brace" for potential budgets cuts? Before the election, democrats were told to "brace" for deep losses. Or does one just prepare?

However, bracing can come in handy to prevent structural damage if an earthquake hits. One can brace a broken arm, or leg. Or even brace a chair. One can brace a pistol.

Some damn lazy writers out there, let me tells ya.

They use "Brace" instead of "Prepare". The one syllable word is easier for ya'll than the two syllable word.

I'm a Connecticut transplant. Never had a frozen spigot. Never even bothered to shut of the water lines to them. This in zero degree weather. Folk around here don't even know what cold weather is.
