Smart

Because of YH-R reporter Dave Lester, I was able to use the word “genuflect” in a caption. Dave is smart. I’ve never used that word in a caption before. I’m fairly certain I’ve never used that word before, period. But I did once use “persnickety” in a headline, so I can hold my head high.

US Sen. Maria Cantwell, left, and others share a laugh as US Interior secretary Ken Salazar jokingly genuflects as he shakes hands with US Rep. Doc Hastings before a briefing on the Yakima basin water plan, in Yakima, Wash. Sunday, Sept. 18, 2011. At far right is Bureau of Reclamation Commissioner Michael Conner.
