Desultory
FOUND by Jack Hobson-Dupont in West Virginia
I've always loved found objects and the stories they tell, as well as the stories they don't tell. So, naturally, I'm a huge fan of Found. "Desultory" was found in a farmhouse in West Virginia. It appears someone had second thoughts…

I love that someone used the word desultory. It's so freaking random.

maybe they didnt know the definition of "desultory" so they wrote it down to look it up later.

I know exactly one person who uses the word "desultory" on a regular basis, and she lives in Ohio. And I spend time with people with vocabularies that far outstrip necessity. This makes me incredibly happy. Especially because "monica" called it random (hah! synonyms!)

"I lor"? "I bor"? What does that say? "I lov-"...

(and I agree, desultory is a splendid word.)

De sultry desultory woman seemed momentarily disconnected from her passionate thoughts. Oh look! Cows!

Dear John Letter in and out of love with John, I guess.
Dearest John, I love you. No, wait. No I don't. I want to go home. Home, where the grass is green, and I can be happy again...

Why am I just so damn inconsistent?

Desultory - great word - hey is anyone else having a problem with previous founds? I was just wondering as it seems like we are going to be getting more snow today, and the roads are slippery. I hate that, but I hope lunch is good today.
