Machining aerospace alloys presents challenges to tool performance. A comprehensive strategy is essential to achieve optimal performance while avoiding process-limiting issues. These alloys are ideal for high-stress components due to their strength and heat resistance. However, their poor machinability stems from high strength and low thermal conductivity. Effective strategies encompass optimising cutting parameters, utilising advanced tool materials and coatings, and employing efficient cooling and lubrication techniques. Implementing precise toolpaths and chip evacuation can significantly enhance performance. “The biggest issue when machining high-temp alloys is heat,” says Danny Davis, Senior Staff Engineer Solutions at Kennametal. “We need to take special care in managing the heat through correct speeds, coolants, coatings and substrates.” Where is the heat coming from? Heat generated during cutting does not dissipate easily into the workpiece or chips when compared to other materials. This forces the tool, and sometimes the part, to bear the thermal burden. Every machining operation is essentially a thermal system where electrical energy enters the spindle and converts into kinetic energy (tool rotation and movement) and heat (from plastic deformation). During chip formation, three distinct phases occur: Rubbing, involving pure friction   Plowing or plastic deformation, where approximately 90% of energy becomes heat   Shearing, where actual chip separation occurs but still generates significant heat “Thermal energy is the biggest factor damaging the cutting edge,” said Steve George, Senior Manager, Product Design Engineering at Kennametal. Ways to Manage Heat in High-Temp Alloys Use tools designed for efficient cutting by reducing specific cutting energy—the energy required to remove a unit volume of material. Tools like HARVI™ I or HARVI II reduce cutting energy through optimised geometries and coatings.   Deploy advanced coatings such as Kennametal's KCSM15A grade, engineered specifically for high-temp alloys. Its smoother, thinner layer retains a sharper cutting edge while enhanced abrasion resistance makes it ideal for aggressive nickel-based alloy conditions.   Increase lubrication with high-pressure coolant systems or minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) to reduce thermal loads, particularly at high cutting speeds. Lubrication cools and separates contact surfaces, directly reducing energy converted to heat during rubbing and plowing stages.   Use tools made of insulating materials like ceramics or certain coated carbides. Since high-temp alloys have poor thermal conductivity, heat stays near the tool. If the cutting tool conducts heat better than the workpiece, it absorbs more heat and wears faster.   Minimise contact time during chip formation. Traditional milling involves constant contact, increasing heat due to extended machining time. Dynamic milling uses smaller radial engagement and keeps the cutter moving with less surface contact. Coolant and Lubrication Best Practices High-temp alloys require strategic coolant management: Water offers excellent heat transfer but poor lubrication. Combat abrasion with coolant rich in extreme pressure (EP) additives.   Air aids chip evacuation when coolant isn't viable. Neat oils provide superior lubrication but are reserved for extreme cases due to maintenance requirements. Placement matters as much as volume. Ensure coolant hits the cutting zone directly—poorly aimed nozzles waste coolant and leave tools vulnerable. Tools like the HARVI IV series offer through-tool coolant delivery. “Higher coolant concentrations help reduce abrasive wear and manage heat when machining high-temp alloys,” said Katie Myers, Product Manager Marketing at Kennametal. “High-pressure through-tool coolant ensures effective heat removal and chip evacuation, crucial for tool life and part quality.” Using Ceramic Tools in a Dry Environment Ceramic tools offer unique advantages when machining high-temp aerospace alloys. Their extreme temperature resistance makes them well-suited for dry cutting where traditional carbide tools struggle. “When we discuss ceramic tools, we're almost always talking about dry cutting,” explained George. “You need careful setup because ceramic tools are much more sensitive to tool path and workpiece geometry.” Managing heat without coolant is key with ceramics. George noted, “Heat is obviously a big concern with high-temp alloys, but ceramic likes heat. We want to generate heat and eliminate it quickly.” George advised avoiding re-cutting and ensuring good chip evacuation to prevent premature wear or failure. He suggested specific motion strategies: “Step the walls of pockets. As you step down, move away from the wall with each pass. This keeps the tool away from the heat zone and helps prevent excessive burr formation.” Effective Approaches for Solid End Milling of Aerospace Components Pocketing Techniques and Methods of Entry: Many aerospace parts feature deep, complex pockets requiring proper entry strategy and cutter selection, especially in materials prone to work hardening and thermal stress. “Pocketing is one of the most common aerospace operations, but it can be tricky with high-temp alloys,” said George. Plunge entry works best for small pockets with limited space. HARVI I TE or HARVI II TE solid end mills plunge directly into material, offering high flexibility for tight spaces. Ensure cutting forces don't exceed machine capabilities.   Ramp entry suits deeper pockets and allows more aggressive cutting. Straight angle ramping can significantly reduce cycle times but requires machine rigidity to withstand higher forces.   Helical interpolation provides the most stable and efficient pocketing strategy due to lighter depth of cuts. Corner geometry requires careful consideration. Oversized tools can cause excessive radial engagement in tight corners, increasing wear and chatter. “If you have a half-inch radius corner, use a three-quarter-inch diameter tool, maybe even 5/8,” said George. “Use a small enough tool to follow the corner arc without gouging or over-engagement.” Minimising Chatter and Maintaining Rigidity: Chatter often stems from machine-tool interface issues with high-temp alloys. Even the best tool can fail if the spindle or machine lacks rigidity to absorb cutting forces. “Chatter occurs when there's too much movement between tool and part, leading to inconsistent cuts and tool wear,” explains Myers. “The best way to reduce chatter is ensuring your machine has sufficient rigidity.” If chatter persists despite adjusting stickout and tool selection, reduce depth of cut to lessen cutting forces instead of slowing feeds and speeds. This keeps vibrations in check without impacting cycle time. “Even with a robust machine, combining long stickout and weak spindle can lead to chatter. It's about balancing tool size, rigidity and cutting force,” George says. Cutting Parameters and Tool Life Tool longevity directly relates to cutting parameters. Running tools at correct speeds, feeds and chip loads ensures maximum tool life while preventing premature wear. Speed is crucial when machining high-temp alloys—too fast burns through tools quickly. Chip thickness is equally important. Light radial engagement without proper feed compensation leads to rubbing rather than cutting, generating excess heat and accelerating wear. Wall Stiffness and Support Geometry When machining features like blisks, isogrids, or blades, geometry plays a critical role in maintaining part stability and minimising deflection. Adjacent or curved walls often reinforce features, offering opportunities to exceed standard roughing rules. “The curvature of the blade actually adds stiffness to that part,” said Davis. “These rules are guidelines. If the wall has curvature, adjacent walls, corners, or bottom radii—all add stiffness.” Conclusion Machining aerospace components from high-temp alloys demands more than just the right tools—it requires a comprehensive strategy addressing heat, rigidity, toolpath planning, and part geometry. Using the right strategies keeps you ahead of the solid end milling curve in machining complex aerospace parts.

In this episode Hazel explores the critical question of who we seek advice from, particularly in the context of fluctuating markets such as cryptocurrencies, property, and stocks. Evaluate the Source of Advice: It's crucial to consider who you are taking advice from, especially during volatile market conditions. Ensure that the person has relevant experience and knowledge in the area they are discussing. Beware of Hearsay and FOMO: Be cautious of opinions from friends or acquaintances who may not have a deep understanding of the subject. Avoid making decisions based on fear of missing out (FOMO) without doing your own research. Seek Experienced Mentors: Look for advice from individuals who have successfully navigated similar situations and have a proven track record. Their insights can provide valuable guidance based on real-world experience. Do Your Due Diligence: Always research the credibility of the advice you receive. Verify the background and expertise of the person giving advice to ensure it is grounded in reality and not just hype. Value of Paid Advice: If advice is free or inexpensive, consider its worth. Often, valuable insights come from those who have invested time and resources into their expertise, so be discerning about the sources you trust. BEST MOMENTS "Who do you take advice from? It's a really good and interesting question to ask yourself, particularly at points in the market that we see at the moment." "Never take advice from someone you wouldn't trade places with." "If I'd listened to her, we would have completely stuffed ourselves. We would have done ourselves out of years worth of amazing cash flow." "Make sure that the person you are actually seeking advice from is somebody that you would like to potentially trade places with." "If advice is free or cheap, then you have to really check whether that advice is worth it."

I'll never forget the moment my co‑host Bruce Wehner shared a powerful story: Nelson told his wife, Mary, “I need to teach you how to be a widow.” That striking phrase stopped us in our tracks. It wasn't morbid—it was strategic. Nelson recognized that spouse financial preparedness is the cornerstone of true legacy planning. If your partner isn't prepared to manage finances when the unthinkable happens, your careful planning unravels—and unintentional burdens form. https://www.youtube.com/live/bVBMnWHGp1Y In today's fast-paced world, talking about money can be uncomfortable. But taking the time to ensure spouse financial preparedness isn't just responsible—it's transformative. As Rachel Marshall and Bruce Wehner, co-hosts of The Money Advantage Podcast, we're here to walk you through why preparing your spouse is crucial, and how to do it effectively. By reading this article, you'll discover: What “financial preparedness” truly means The critical pieces every spouse should know Practical tools we use with clients How to handle emotional differences in money habits A step-by-step framework to empower your spouse today Why Spouse Financial Preparedness MattersKey Areas for Spouse PreparednessIncome Plans—Now & ContingencyTaxes, Medicare & Social SecurityInsurance & ProtectionDigital Access & Password SharingEngaging Trusted AdvisorsThe LIFE Financial FrameworkManaging Emotional DifferencesTools & Rituals for PreparednessEquip Your Spouse. Protect Your Legacy.Book A Strategy Call Why Spouse Financial Preparedness Matters Bruce and I often see one partner “in the dark.” The hardworking spouse makes decisions—but the other may trust blindly, unaware of details. That puts them at risk—be it missing advisors' phone numbers, not understanding insurance coverage, or worse: being blindsided by critical decisions. One case Bruce shared involved a wife who thought their net worth was minor—only to discover $30 million after her spouse had passed. Imagine the emotional shock—and legal busyness. That's why spouse financial preparedness is a legacy necessity, not an optional extra. Key Areas for Spouse Preparedness To be truly ready, your spouse needs awareness and access across five areas: Income Plans—Now & Contingency Your spouse should understand both your current income strategy and what happens financially if one partner isn't there. Bruce calls it having a “backup income plan.” Ask: what if I retire early? What if one income stops? Taxes, Medicare & Social Security One spouse passing makes tax filing switch to “single,” which can raise Medicare Part B and D costs by up to $500/month. Understanding IRMA brackets and how Social Security survivor benefits work is vital. A spouse who knows the rules won't fall prey to unexpected costs. Insurance & Protection Life is unpredictable. Couples need clarity on life, health, disability, home, auto, liability—and how they work together. A clear policy keeps your spouse empowered and protected. Digital Access & Password Sharing In today's digital age, locked-out accounts are a nightmare. Did you know iPhone allows a “Legacy Contact”? A shared password vault ensures your partner can access bank, utilities, email—and even that mysterious password for your favorite travel site. Engaging Trusted Advisors Make sure your spouse knows and trusts your financial, legal, insurance, and tax advisors. Ideally, they attend meetings together or at least meet face-to-face. That ensures seamless transition—and peace of mind—should something happen. The LIFE Financial Framework Bruce and I use a powerful acronym—L.I.F.E.—to frame preparedness: Liquid: How much cash is needed within minutes for emergencies? Income: Do you want fixed guaranteed income to cover essentials, plus variable funds for lifestyle? Flexible: Which assets can be repositioned for other goals—travel, education, emergencies?

This Podcast Is Episode 635, And It's About The #1 Reason Contractors Lose Clients: Poor Invoicing—And How to Fix It As we celebrate Independence Day and the spirit of hard work and craftsmanship that built our country, it's the perfect time to think about strengthening your construction business, so you have the freedom to grow and succeed. When most contractors consider why they lose clients, they often blame price competition, slow projects, or a client's unrealistic expectations. But in my experience as a construction bookkeeper, one of the most common—and preventable—reasons contractors lose business is poor invoicing practices. I know what you might be thinking: “My craftsmanship speaks for itself; invoicing is just paperwork.” But the truth is that invoices are often the last impression you leave on a client. That impression determines whether you get paid promptly, earn a good review, or ever hear from them again. Here's why poor invoicing costs you clients, how it damages your reputation, and exactly what you can do to fix it starting today. The Hidden Charges of Poor Invoicing Let's unpack what “poor invoicing” looks like in the real world: Surprise Charges – Adding unexpected line items without explanation leads clients to feel blindsided. Even small uncommunicated costs, like a few extra hours of labor or a disposal fee, can make clients doubt your honesty. Late or Sporadic Invoices – Sending invoices weeks (or worse, months) after work is completed sends the message that you're disorganized. It also forces clients to scramble their budgets, and they may start ignoring your emails altogether. Disorganized or Confusing Layouts – Handwritten invoices, crumpled paper, or Word documents with inconsistent formatting look unprofessional. They make it difficult for clients to understand what they owe and why, opening the door to disputes. Lack of Payment Terms – If your invoice doesn't clearly state when payment is due, clients may assume there's no urgency. This leads to late payments, awkward reminders, and unnecessary tension. No Proof of Work Completed – Many clients want to see proof that matches what they agreed to pay for, such as photos of progress, signed change orders, or milestones met. Without these, they might question the final bill. Errors and Omissions – Mistakes in calculations, missing line items, or billing for the wrong amount can destroy trust in an instant. These issues might seem small when you're juggling multiple jobs. Still, they add up quickly and can easily cost you a client's future business or a valuable referral. Why Invoicing is a Marketing Tool, NOT Just a Bill Invoices are more than payment requests—they're a key part of your client experience. Every interaction you have with a client, from the first estimate to the final invoice, contributes to your reputation. Consider this: clients rarely see the hours you put in behind the scenes or the challenges you overcome to finish their project. They do see your invoices, emails, and paperwork. If your administrative side feels sloppy, clients may assume your craftsmanship is, too, even if your work is top-notch. On the other hand, precise, prompt, professional invoices can: Build trust and reinforce your professionalism Encourage faster payments, boosting cash flow Make clients more likely to refer you Lead to glowing online reviews Differentiate yourself from less organized competitors When you treat invoicing as a core part of your marketing—rather than an afterthought—you send a powerful message: you respect your client's time, budget, and peace of mind. How to Fix Poor Invoicing Practices Here are six practical steps you can take immediately to transform your invoicing process—and your client relationships: 1. Use Construction-Specific Invoicing Tools Skip generic templates or handwritten invoices. Invest in software designed for contractors, such as QuickBooks for Contractors or Buildertrend. These tools let you: Create detailed, professional invoices Break down labor, materials, and other costs Track payments and overdue invoices Sync estimates with final invoices for seamless transitions They're designed to handle the complexities of construction work, including progress billing and change orders. Excel works well, too, and we have free downloadable templates here. 2. Invoice Promptly and Consistently Send invoices immediately upon completing milestones or projects. Make it a routine part of your workflow—ideally within 24 hours of finishing a phase of work. Regular, timely invoicing demonstrates to clients that you're organized and serious about your business. Pro tip: Automate invoice scheduling if your software supports it. You can set up progress invoices that are sent automatically at agreed-upon milestones. 3. Break Down the Work Clearly Your invoices should include line items that detail labor hours, materials, subcontractors, and any additional charges. Provide quantities, unit prices, and short descriptions. A transparent invoice gives clients confidence that they're paying for precisely what they approved. For example, instead of: Labor: $5,000 Break it down as: Framing labor (40 hours @ $50/hour): $2,000 Drywall installation labor (30 hours @ $50/hour): $1,500 Finish carpentry labor (30 hours @ $50/hour): $1,500 This clarity prevents misunderstandings and reduces disputes. 4. Include Payment Terms Always include clear payment terms on your invoice, such as: Payment Due: Net 15 (15 days after invoice date) Late Fee: 1.5% per month on overdue balances Ensure that your client has agreed to these terms upfront (in your contract or proposal). Stating them clearly on the invoice eliminates confusion and provides you with a legal basis if payments are delayed. 5. Add Professional Branding Your invoice should include your company logo, consistent fonts, and professional formatting. This isn't just about looking fancy—it reminds clients they're working with a legitimate, established business. Include your contact information, contractor license number, and website to make it easy for clients to reach you with questions or share your info with referrals. 6. Follow Up Politely but Firmly Don't let overdue invoices linger for weeks without action. Set reminders to follow up a few days before the due date and again shortly after if payment has not been received. Your follow-up doesn't have to be aggressive—keep it friendly but firm. For example: Subject: Friendly Reminder: Invoice #2024-015 Due Tomorrow Hi [Client Name], Just a quick reminder that Invoice #2024-015 for your [Project Name] is due tomorrow. Please let me know if you have any questions! Thanks so much, [Your Name] Automated reminders in invoicing software can save you time and ensure consistency in your billing process. The Bottom Line: Better Invoicing Builds Your Reputation Ultimately, precise, prompt, and professional invoicing is one of the simplest and most effective ways to market your construction business. Clients who trust your paperwork are far more likely to trust your work and recommend you to others. Plus, you'll benefit from: Improved cash flow Fewer disputes Better client relationships A stronger reputation for professionalism Next Steps: Let's Fix It Together Suppose you're ready to stop losing clients to poor invoicing and start winning more referrals. In that case, it can help you set up a professional, efficient invoicing system tailored to your construction business.

“ It's a core tenant of who we are, and it's called put people first. We take care of our people.” Derek De Salvia, Executive Vice President and Chief Customer Officer at Hilton Grand Vacations, joins Dan today to dive into the world of vacation ownership. The discussion covers the personal and professional aspects of hospitality, the evolution and benefits of the vacation ownership model, and how Hilton Grand Vacations differentiates itself in the industry, especially as one of Newsweek's Top Most Loved Workplaces. Derek shares insights into customer education, the impact of multi-generational ownership, the importance of team member engagement, and the adaptability of vacation ownership through economic cycles and evolving customer needs. The episode concludes with advice for potential customers and an invitation to experience Hilton Grand Vacations firsthand.Takeaways: Train your team to understand the difference between basic service and true hospitality.

When employees feel valued and cared for, they are more likely to pass on that sentiment to guests.Consider the long-term benefits and memories that owning a timeshare can create for your family across generations, rather than just focusing on the upfront costs and annual fees.Continuously gather and act on feedback from guest surveys and team member inputs to refine services and address any issues promptly.Quote of the Show:“We couldn't talk about hospitality and what that means to people if we didn't share that love and warmth of hospitality to our team members.” - Derek De SalviaLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/derek-desalvia-m-s-5a2b5521/ Website: https://www.hiltongrandvacations.com/ Shout Outs:0:59 - Newsweek https://www.newsweek.com/ 3:32 - Hilton https://www.hilton.com/en/ 7:59 - Danny Meyer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Meyer 18:21 - Great Wolf Lodge https://www.greatwolf.com/ 18:25 - Blue Green Vacations https://www.bluegreenvacations.com/ 18:27 - Bass Pro https://www.basspro.com/home 

Earnest Sweat, a tech innovation expert, was a guest on the latest edition of the REIT Report podcast. In the first of a three-part miniseries, Sweat began the process of examining the intersection of AI with the REIT sector.Sweat is a venture capitalist and general partner at Stresswood, an early-stage fund focused on backing exceptional founders building the next wave of enterprise technology.Sweat said technology can be beneficial because “companies are all expected to produce more with fewer resources.” He stressed the importance for REIT leaders to speak with middle management to ascertain where AI can handle repeatable tasks, and to stress to management that technology is not a “precursor to them losing their jobs.”

In this episode of "Rise Up, Live Joy Your Way," Kamini Wood emphasizes that boundaries are essential guidelines for healthy relationships and personal peace, often misunderstood as walls that push people away. As a "recovering people pleaser," Kamini shares her own struggle with setting boundaries, initially viewing them as rude or mean, but now understanding them as "fences" that allow for connection and deeper, healthier relationships. She introduces her "FENCES" framework: Focus on your needs, Express them kindly, Navigate expectations transparently, Clarify consequences, Ensure consistency, and Stay grounded. Kamini acknowledges that setting boundaries can be scary and may elicit negative reactions from others, especially those who benefited from the lack of boundaries previously. However, she stresses that these reactions often open the door for healthier communication and that boundaries are ultimately for one's own well-being and to foster healthier dynamics. She advises starting with small boundaries to build confidence and concludes by reiterating that boundaries can lead to more authentic and respectful connections.Discover more powerful tips and guidance here: https://www.kaminiwood.com/blog/Learn more about my coaching services: https://www.kaminiwood.com/services/Follow me for more empowering inspiration and guidance:https://www.instagram.com/itsauthenticme/https://www.facebook.com/itsauthenticme/https://www.pinterest.com/itsauthenticme/

Sleep detoxifies our brains! Refined sugars, junk food, and late-night snacking can interfere with sleep. If you want better sleep, eat earlier in the day. For the best sleep, have your last meal around 5:00 p.m. If you're waking at night to urinate, intermittent fasting and a low-carb diet can help. Inflammatory foods, such as grains, can also interfere with your sleep. High carbohydrate diets increase your need for vitamin B1, which reduces anxiety and tension.Kefir contains probiotics that can build up serotonin, which turns into melatonin, the sleep hormone. L. reuteri yogurt also contains helpful probiotics to improve sleep. Consume ½ cup daily; it doesn't have to be before bed.Try the following tips for better sleep to help you wake up early feeling refreshed and energized:•Sleep in a 65 to 68 degree room•If you have cold feet at night, try sleeping with warm socks•Plants in the room can help oxygenate the space and improve sleep•The darker the environment, the better Light inhibits melatonin. Blue light from your computer or phone stimulates energy, while infrared lighting helps you wind down. Around 50% of the sun's rays are infrared and can penetrate several inches into the body. Infrared light helps you make vitamin D, which is vital for sleep and increasing melatonin. Since culture has pushed us away from sun exposure, sleep quality has declined. Alcohol will make you feel tired, but it interferes with deep sleep. Caffeine, tea, coffee, and chocolate act as stimulants and prevent sleep. Increase exercise to improve sleep. Stretching and massage can also help you relax. Here are a few more deep sleep tips that can significantly improve sleep quality:•Sleep on your right side•Focus on nose breathing •Reduce stress for better sleep•Ensure adequate sodium intake to maintain healthy cortisol levels •Increase potassium intake •Consume magnesium glycinate powder 1 hour before bed •Sound machine •Binaural beats •Use essential oils (Spikenard, vetiver)Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

On this week's Thinking LSAT, Josh joins Ben to answer questions from students who feel stuck. They explain that plateaus often come from ignoring the core skill tested by the LSAT: “Did you understand what you read?” “Strategies” like skimming passages or completing 10 questions in 10 minutes distract from comprehension. Instead, you unlock the LSAT when you read each sentence carefully and make sure you understand every word.⁠Study with our Free Plan⁠⁠Download our iOS app⁠⁠Watch Episode 513 on YouTube⁠1:01 – Be Careful What You ShareJosh and Ben unpack a NYT report on a white nationalist who won an award for a paper on originalism. They focus on a student quoted in the article who lost a job offer after telling a future employer about the interview. Their point: it's not about politics—employers want to avoid liability and bad press. The same logic applies to law school admissions, where offices will use any self-disclosed information to their advantage.7:15 – Save My RCEllie writes in hoping to “save” her reading comprehension. They urge her to slow down, spend more time digesting each passage, and treat every question as Must Be True—provable solely by the text.14:50 – Professors' Letter of RecommendationWhen Joshua's professors ask what to include in letters of recommendation, highlight experiences that prove future lawyer competence—research, writing, leadership, and advocacy. Ensure recommenders understand LSAC's credential assembly service upload process so letters arrive on time.19:12 – Retaking ClassesEmma wants to know if she should retake classes to boost her GPA. If your school removes old grades from your transcript, retaking a course can improve your GPA. If not, stack easy A's instead. Delay graduation if needed to add GPA-boosting coursework, and consider a gap year to raise numbers further—every decimal point can translate into larger scholarships.LSAT Demon Scholarship Estimator24:44 – Plateauing in ScoresThe guys diagnose Sydney's stall, where she was missing seven questions per section. She's fixated on speed. Strategies like “10 questions in 10 minutes” detract from accuracy and understanding. Instead, Josh and Ben prescribe concentrating on accuracy, ditching box-checking wrong-answer journals, and digging into the logic of each missed question instead of types. 37:56 – Applying Early DecisionApplying early decision is a scholarship-killer. You surrender negotiation leverage and forfeit the chance to apply broadly and early elsewhere. Keep your options—and bargaining power—open.42:46 - Word of the Week - Nimrod“In Wisconsin, as I was driving through, a hunter shot his own guide between the shoulder blades. The coroner questioning this nimrod asked, ‘Did you think he was a deer?'”Get caught up with our ⁠Word of the Week⁠⁠ library.
