What is it called when the sun is shining and it's raining? The sun is shining and it's raining.

I don't have a word for the circle roads. It's just a circle in the road.

I don't know what a cruller is.

An easy school course? I have never heard of a word for this. It's just an easy course.

We called easy classes in school "Mickey Mouse" courses.

I had never heard of a rotary til I dated a guy from Ranson. Growing up they were always called a circle (ie: Chevy Chase Circle in DC.)

I only know what a cruller is because my mom used to buy french crullers from the bakery when I was a kid (they're a donut.)
