What a beautiful day it is today… The sun is shining and the birds are singing and Spring is in the air. I think that I could almost break out in song right now… Okay, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration. I really can’t sing or even hum a good tune. So, breaking out in song may not be all that it is cracked up to be. I could scare away the birds outside and any other small creatures traveling by. Guess I will just have to settle for Mother Nature serenading me.
As for the word of the day, it is coming straight from Kurt Wolken who is sitting in his office and getting ready to have lunch. Which by the way, his office is his pickup. He is always too busy to have a real office with four walls. I guess that’s what happens when you’re in the construction and dirt moving industry. Whatever works… is what you go with. Thank you, Kurt, for the call and for the submission of our word of the day, production.
The definition comes to us from our online source at www.thefreedictionary.com
pro·duc·tion (pr-dkshn, pr-)
n.
1.
a. The act or process of producing: timber used for the production of lumber and paper.
b. The fact or process of being produced: a movie going into production.
2. The creation of value or wealth by producing goods and services.
3. The total output, as of a commodity: increased production at the plant.
4. Something produced; a product: "Of all the productions of land, milk is perhaps the most perishable" (Adam Smith).
5.

Well, there you have it. Production has several definitions, not unlike most of the English language. It is not a very sexy word, but I like what it has to offer. Not only can you produce a product but you can also have a work of art or literature. Now that is more like it, at least for me. That is all for now. Until next time my good friends and readers, remember to always Read On!!!
