It's THE CLOUD!!!!!!
Heh, heh. Great game on Sunday. We're still allowing too many points but you gotta admire the way the defense showed up and gave the Titans a run for their money instead of rolling over and cowering because they're missing a crap load of starters. Oh yeah, and Troy Brown's punt return for a TD was a thing of beauty, official or not.
Had a pretty great weekend, hanging out with Luda and Andrew in Maine. I got to discover the beauty of Maker's Mark as well as see Grandma and many other relatives and also watch a lot of Stargate. Pretty well-rounded weekend if you ask me.

Going home tomorrow. And Luda is coming too. :) On duty tonight, and hopefully I'll get some work done but it's kind of unlikely. We'll see.
And apparently vibrating shoes are helpful for elderly people in keeping their balance. Interesting...
Oh yes, and 5,000 libertarians are in the process of moving to New Hampshire in the hopes of importing 20,000 more of their evil brethren so that they may create some kind of lawless utpoia for themselves.
I think I just had a seizure.

The Maine Speech Lessons
Lesson 10:
Attempting to mimic a "Maine accent" is a good way to get your ass-kicked.
Lesson 9:
An "Italian Sandwich" doesn't include anything remotely Italian.
Lesson 8:
If you hear Mainers mention "Angus" or "the independent on the motorcycle", they're referring to the governor.
Lesson 7:
If you hear a Mainer refer to "The County" he or she is referring to Aroostook County, the one that comprises about a third of the state.
Lesson 6:
Mainers are NOT Bostonians. We like our R's and are generally happy to pronounce them. R's at the end of words can be softened occasionally but are rarely dropped completely.
Lesson 5:
The town Calais is pronounced "Cal-us" not "Cal-ay". No one is sure why but it is best not to question.
Lesson 4:
There is only one kind of clam chowder in Maine.
Lesson 3:
The word "wicked" is an acceptable substitute for the word "really" (in moderation) and has no implicit connotation, positive or negative.
Lesson 2:
The town of Bangor is prounounced "Bang-gore" not "Banger".
Lesson 1:
The word "Ayuh" is an appropriate answer to any question.
