While I regret the circumstances under which I have now learned this word, I still think it is an awesome addition to my vocabulary. Though I also have to wonder what my Ukrainian grandparents would have made of my knowing it?

I find it hard to believe they would not have agreed the situation warrants it. It seems visible from space.

(Where in Ukraine, if I may ask?)

May your hands continue glacially in all things unpleasant, and quickly in all things useful and lovely.

Thank you!
