Back to Raking a BILLION leaves

WORD OF THE DAY:  nescience \NESH-ee-unss\ noun: lack of knowledge or awareness : ignorance. 

I'm glad to have learned this word.  So often my word of choice for this meaning is "niggardly".  However, the black community is so bent out of shape over its use.  An example of that discontent is on one occasion the mayor of Washington, DC used it in one of his addresses at a function and he was all but stoned in a city square.   He's a black man. 

I must have 1,000,000,000 leaves here in my yard and they're NOT fun to rake.
