A blast from the past:
Astronomers Discover New Planet Out Beyond Neptune (Jun, 1930)
The recently discovered planet, already named Pluto, is judged to be the same size as the earth.
Heh.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What do people like for online photo printing services? I.e., shutterfly, snapfish?
I like Shutterfly for photo books ( t edit and calendars); I've never tried any online service for individual prints (I just upload prints to Ritz Camera's site and then pick them up in person since there's a Ritz across the street from my office t edit and because I'm horrible at delaying gratification and actually waiting for the things to be delivered).

Flickr's photo printing is pretty good. (Though when I've used their "pick up at Target" service, some of my pics werr weirdly cropped.)

I've been calling this storm some variation of Snowpocalypsageddon. Now NWS estimates are at 20-30+ inches.
I give up.

Oh dear.
Soon there will be so much snow that it will form a glacier that will destroy the city.

What happens when a destructo glacier meets killer frost?
Besides a SyFy movie, I mean.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Soon there will be so much snow that it will form a glacier that will destroy the city.
If that happens, we need a watch and post report.
For as long as you can, I mean.

You know, I bet that wasn't anyone's first guess on how DC would go.

I would love to join Costco -- the amount of money we spend on pet food and cat litter alone is appalling -- but The Boy prefers to do all his shopping at the local, independently owned grocer, to support local merchants.
At least Costco has good pay and benefits for its employees and its political donations go to Democrats.
I'm not sure we have any local independent grocers, unless you count Your DeKalb Farmers Market, where I do a good deal of my food shopping.
