Speaking of insurance, I’m sure some insurance company will actively be investigating a local new construction fire in Bainbridge, via Komo:

There had been speculation that the Saturday night fire might have been the work of eco-terrorists … The two-story, luxury home in the Battle Point area of the island was about 60 percent complete. It was listed for $2.9 million.

Yikes, time to beef up that homeowner’s policy for those building new homes in this area.

Had to look the definition of an eco-terrorist: “a neologism which has been used to describe threats and acts of violence (both against people and against property), sabotage, vandalism, property damage and intimidation committed in the name of environmentalism. …”

Don’t you hate it when definitions contain one or more words that you need to look up? Isn’t the whole point of a definition to be clear?

neologism - “A newly and deliberately coined word”

Why doesn’t Wikipedia just say it’s new word describing threats and acts of violence against people and/or property in the name of environtmentalism?

Guess the word is somewhat self-explanatory. I’m curious, and maybe it’s just my high school education showing its limits here, how many knew the definition of neologism?

For those who do, you have a bigger dic-tionary than me.

Did this post make you go hmm?
