Recently I was at the head of a trail in a national park. Perusing the bulletin board I observed that there were theme hikes listed for nearly every day in the summer. It seems that you can register on-line to take your group on a wilderness trail hike around most any theme.
For one of the scheduled hikes the theme was a word I had never heard of — friggatriskaidekaphobia. For reasons I cannot fully explain, I jotted the word down. It just seemed like one of those words that might some day prove useful.
This morning I finally got around to looking the word up. Yesterday I would not have been able to tell you on which day of the summer this hike occurred. But today, thanks to the wonders of internet search, I know, with certainty, exactly which day this hike took place.
Now I am wondering whether somebody will ever schedule a follow-on hike, perhaps for some balmy Saturday afternoon, around the theme of hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia.
