Ever wonder – What’s up with up?
There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meaning than any other two-letter word, and
that is "UP." It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when
we waken in the morning, why do we wake UP?
At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for
election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report?
We call UP our friends and we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, we warm UP the
leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car.
At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets,
work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.

OREGON TRIVIA
To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.
1. Who was the Oregon
City of Burns named after?
2. Where was noted food

3. Before they founded
Tektronix, Jack Murdock and
Howard Vollum owned what
business?
4. Called the “Buffalo Bill
of American Literature,” what
colorful
19th-century
Oregon-based poet wrote
My Life among the Modocs?
5. The University of
Oregon played what team in
the 1995 Cotton Bowl?
6. Swainson’s hawk,
which summers in Oregon,
migrates to what country for
the winter?
And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because
it is stopped UP.
Answers on page 26
We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.
We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP!
To be knowledgeable of the proper uses of UP, look UP the
word in the dictionary. In a desk size dictionary, takes UP almost
1/4th the page and definitions add UP to about thirty.
If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many
ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't
give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more.
When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the
sun comes out we say it is clearing UP.
When it rains, it wets UP the earth. When it doesn't rain for
awhile, things dry UP.\
One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now my
time is UP, so............. I'll shut UP.....!
