Campaign for Zarf!

So, unrelated to anything else, I've learned a new word. Zarf.

It's the actual formal word for those little cardboard sleeves that Starbucks (and other chi-chi coffee spots) give you to protect your hand from the hot drink. According to the always brilliant wiki, it's evolved from an Arabic word for saucer and primarily described those fancy-kadancy silver or pewter holders for glasses that you see at Russian tea rooms.

I am joining one of my favorite barisitas in a campaign to promite the use of the word ZARF! Please, join me!

Also, May has her first sign. She puts her hands over her ears when a siren goes by. We've been using the hands over the ears for "loud noise", usually when one of us sneezes or drops something. So the siren thing is something she's come up with herself. Mad props to Kevin for noticing that she always did it when a siren went by.
