Alley Jaunt
My daughter has been calling weather vanes "wind tunnels" for weeks and I keep trying to correct her, but have been unable to call up the proper name. Ah, sleep deprivation. Today (I admit I took not a single photo yesterday) as I was walking down an alley alone and saw this one and the word came to me immediately. I find I have a harder time remembering the names of things if an inaccurate name has been suggested to me. I'd have an easier time if someone said, "What are those things called...?"

That's an interesting mental observation. I do the same thing. The minute the wrong name (or phone number) is in my head, I can't recall the right one. There must be a term for this phenomenon. If I had heard it, I doubt I would remember it. Ha!
