Take "p o st" for example. A post is upended in a posthole to hold up a building, a fence, or corral. It just sits there like a rock, hence the expression, "dumber than a post". The word "outpost" became shortened whether referring to a wilderness fort or a military encampment. Undoubtedly our troops slithering around in Bosnia's squalid conditions would gladly trade their tents for something as upscale as housing con structed with posts. At those temporary quarters, soldiers are also posted as guards and rosters of assigned duties are posted. Policing up their living quarters must be like trying to keep muck out of a barn. A "post position" refers to the start of a horse race. When the pony express carried the mail, there were any number of riders posted at intervals along a route. There were also persons posted to provide fresh horses for couriers. Maybe it was those riders' often sore posteriors that created the term of "posting" which refers to a rider's up and down motion on the back of a trotting horse. The post office still posts letters to which I carefully affix a stamp. We also post notices to warn against trespassing. Or we post names on published lists, such as missing persons, criminals and even sporting events. I post reminders of things that need to be accomplished or are needed. And my calendar is marked with more chicken scratching than a cave dweller's wall, another form of posting. For pencil-pushers like myself, bookkeeping stats aren't posted, they are scribbled in ink. Getting behind on that type of record keeping is the postmark of a postponer. "P o st" refers to "after in time" such as the delaying tactics employed by our politicians in getting the national budget on line. Quicker results might have been accomplished had guards been posted outside locked doors wherein the Congress and the President had no opportunity for golf. Limited post-holiday stale morsels might have given post-haste to the process also. Now we have to listen to commentators' postmortems about what should have been accomplished. Perhaps we need to postulate ways to improve efficiency of our representatives in managing this country. Post-holidays blues can hardly be compared with postpartum depression. In the first instance, the hectic times are over, and in the latter, they are just beginning. Finding room for a newborn babe and all the paraphernalia is more difficult than trying to find somewhere to store an increasing amount of holiday decorations. Once that holiday glitter is laid to rest, the downside of star ting a new year means inventories and tax returns. But hey, if you haven't made those New Year resolutions public, you aren't compelled to carrying out those well-intended pledges. Just don't write them down in a diary like a former Oregon senator, if your thoughts aren't pure as our recent snow.
