Excuse me while I adjust my soapbox. In the meantime, in case you’ve been under the magic covers, take a moment to read this article about teen Abby Sunderland, 16, and her quest to sail around the world solo. Then come back here and prepare for an earful. — Very few things put me out [...]

It looks like a lot of poop went down at last night’s Water and Sewer board. (Oh, goodness, that was awful, but I really, really, couldn’t resist.)

I can’t find a link to it, but maybe you know what I’m talking about. Jack the Rabbit is prattling on about Wisconsin. What do you think? I’m more offended every time I see it. Not feeling the love, Frontier.
