What's in a word?

 Today, according to my west coast brother, is "Big Word Day."  In his text he used a few big words like contrarian and obfuscation which I admit did impress me.  However, as I pondered this day I began to wonder if the originators of this day meant long words or BIG words.  Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is a wonderfully long and singable word while the famous HOLLYWOOD sign on a hillside in California is definitely a big word.  I just can't decide so I will leave it to you to choose to celebrate long words or large words.  You could probably make it a travel game.  Spot the longest words or the biggest words on billboards and the sides of trucks.  

And speaking of signs, I saw a protest sign along our road yesterday that said END ROAD WORK. I agree.  There are far too many orange barrels on every road I take lately.
