vocabulary lesson...

 Prepare yourselves.  I now have a 2023 Trivia calendar. So here is the question for the day - "What is someone with lilapsophobia afraid of?"  I guessed lilacs, although lilacs aren't very scary.  We did have a lilac bush at one house that was pretty monstrous, but that's a different story.  Maybe a fear of running laps?  I probably have that phobia.  I have avoided running laps for years.  But I was wrong on both counts.  Lilapsophobia is a fear of hurricanes and tornadoes.  A pretty common sense even useful phobia if you ask me, but not to be confused with astraphobia which is a fear of thunder and lightning.  So there you are, two really good words to toss into conversations.  You're welcome.
