I pick a topic and post 10 things about it.
It might be funny.
Or not.
Many people have themes for this challenge. I do not.
I want to give a sense of what my blog is like all the time so it is business as usual.
Except for posting more often than normal and it corresponding to the alphabet.
So, this week's Ten Things Tuesday is all about the word bonanza.
In no certain order- here we go:
1. It's a town in Colorado.
It is pretty much a ghost town now with only a few full time residents still there. 100 years ago it was a silver mining town and was originally called Bonanza City.
2. It's a restaurant.
Specifically, it is a buffet style steakhouse.
3. It means very valuable.
Also, rewarding or profitable.
4. It's a large amount.
5. Beechcraft Bonanza
This is a type of aircraft that was first introduced in 1947. It is a small plane similar to a Cessna.
6. Bus line
It is also known as the Peter Pan line and runs through New England.
7. Origin from Medieval Latin
It means calm sea.
8. Really large and rich mineral deposit
Examples are ore, oil, and precious metals.
9. Bonanza.com
It is an online marketplace that claims over 2000 stores.
10. TV show
The show ran for 14 seasons from 1959-1973.

ReplyDeleteJudy, who wouldn't?

ReplyDeleteAdam, I think they still show reruns around here.
DeleteThank you for sharing this
ReplyDeleteYou are most welcome, Ruby. :)
DeleteCalm sea just doesn't seem to fit with what we use the word for. Thanks for the lesson!
ReplyDeleteI know, Gail. I checked more than one place to be sure.
DeleteVery interesting! I'm embarrassed that I didn't know most of these facts.
ReplyDeleteD..J., I didn't either til I looked into it.

ReplyDelete(Stopping by from the A to Z Challenge)
anothercleanslate, It's nice to meet you.
DeleteSo THAT'S what happened to Peter Pan (the bus line, not the childrens character who's quite often played by a girl. And Robin Williams)
ReplyDeleteAl, strangely enough Robin Williams once pretended to be a woman. In a movie.
DeleteBetter than a streetcorner.
DeleteMy husband is a big fan of the TV. Show Bonanza.
ReplyDeleteMunir, I don't remember the last time I watched it. Beats a lot of the shows on nowadays.
