Timely. I'm supposed to be up in Randolph, ME smelting along the Kennebec River right now. Got a call this morning that an ice jam was heading downstream directly towards the smelt shacks and there was a mad scramble going on to get them off the river. Maybe next week. .

Eliminating comment sections at pretty much all news sites would be an excellent step in fixing society as we know it. Nearly all comments on Fox, CNN, The Washington Post, et. al, are worthless. I don't believe for a minute that those sites use comments to encourage open and constructive dialogue. If it was my site, I'd be embarrassed by what was being posted and would have shut it down.

I’m reminded of my favorite story from Robert Fulghum­.

One of his first jobs was working the night shift at NYC hotel. Janatorial stuff. He was assigned a partner; an older man who was also a holocaust survivor. They’d do their thing every night and break for lunch. The meal was free, provided by the hotel, and was always whatever was left from the night’s dinner menu.

One week they had chicken three nights in a row. On the third night Fulghum loses it. “I’ve had it” says. Chicken three nights in a row. I’ve got a real problem with this. You’d think they could find something else to give us.”

His coworker listens silently until the rant is over and then says “Fulghum, your house is on fire; that’s a problem. You can’t feed your family; that’s a problem. Everything else is an inconvenience. Learn to tell the difference between a problem and an inconvenience.”

The (awful) power of the internet. I'm thinking that because of what those twelve (12) year old girls did - slenderman deserves nothing other than a deep dark spot within the ash heap of internet history.

I realized it was completely out of control when I was asked to store some 55 gallon drums of diesel fuel in my garage in case it was needed for my company's generator. Not.

Sure. I'll give this a go. Thanks for the warning and I'll put my MST3K hat on first.

Slightly off-topic: There are over 3,800 Netflix Genre Codes but none for Christmas movies. Three thousand eight hundred. But if you're looking for Steamy Gay & Lesbian Movies from the 1980s (#4324) - you're in. Just a personal pique that comes up every year around this time. . .
