shanticina/shantisina

At Rainbow Gatherings, when someone yells this, everyone comes running to help them! I saw it in action & the Rainbow Family even has attorneys!

When I heard shanticina/shantisina I went running to help this guy who'd been handcuffed. Everybody responded to the call for help. Someone sawed the handcuffs off the guy & people circled around him & got him away from the 6~up! (cops)

Goretex

A 100% waterproof fabric woven so tightly that even a single droplet of water cannot get thru it!

My son gave me a Goretex military jacket that is totally waterproof & it cost $300 in 2001. It's amazing, camoflauge, & I love it!

hobos, tramps, & bums

Amongst the homeless, there's a hierarchy~hobos will work, tramps only if they feel like it, & bums, not at all, ever.

I've met lots of hobos, tramps, & bums & was very surprised that they classify themselves differently!

cloverleaf

A series of on~ramps & off~ramps of a freeway that look like a 4~leaf clover.

When we took a wrong turn on the freeway in Houston, it took us an hour to go thru all the cloverleaf on~ramps & off~ramps to get back to where we needed to be!
