I Got the Power

At 5:30 this morning. Got me evening all mapped out: listen to the game and clean out the fridge and freezer! On the bright side, I’ll get rid of all those freeze dried veggies that have probably been buried in the back of the freezer for years.

Really Eerie

(I tried to figure out how to put more “e” sounds in that title, but that was as good as I could come up with on short notice.) Went to check the weather, and noticed a strange weather pattern around Pittsburgh. When I went to look at the animated regional radar, it looked even more creepy. [...]

For those who are interested, Raging Red is doing a good job keeping up with the details of the Megan Williams case, especially the on going argument over whether Hate Crimes should be charged.

Kick off! Maryland fumble. WVU recovers… TOUCHDOWN! Here’s hoping the happiness continues. (And this is MUCH better than last week, when we lost radio reception at the end of the first quarter on the way to VA .) ADDENDUM the First: Boo.
