Word of the Week

Hauteur

haw-TUR; (h)oh-\, noun:

Definition: Haughty manner, spirit, or bearing; haughtiness; arrogance:

Sentence: My silence, I hoped, would be taken as expressive of the hauteur of a man who was above it all – a man with a mission, in fact, a mission authorized from somewhere on high.

That self-deprecation and lack of hauteur are typical of the earthy style that enables Powell to get close to his troops in a way that many top brass never do.

Sweet Black Coffee

Sweet Black Coffee is back on the block again. I had the best smoothie of mango and bananas made by Black Art himself and it was so goooood.

It was made all natural no milk products. The coffee is good as well. While Sweet Black Coffee is a coffee house. They also do poetry sets and other things. They open at 6 a.m.-9 p.m. closed on Monday.
