Carpe Diem
Carpe Diem is at the top of my dead language metaphor list. It’s like a war cry for, warriors of the present moment.

Two things that have the power to steal my joy; when I’m out there, getting my daily dose of dirt, are heat and wind. That’s why I like to get out early. The coolest and calmest part of the day is the morning. As the angle of the sun increases, the thermometer and anemometer numbers
