Slug (of the hip-hop group Atmosphere) did an interview with Spin, I think it was, a few years back about what he liked about living in Minneapolis. One of the things he mentioned was that thugs don't like the cold. I think the East Coast thuggery would probably agree (well, unless there are gangstas in Maine ...) We had about an inch and a half of snow accumulate today, and it was amazing how much everything slowed down. Everyone was driving so slowly and carefully, and there was noticeably less honking. In Wisconsin, people would still be speeding on the highway. Or, to paraphrase Aunt Sarah, [New Yorkers] JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND!
I was reading a story today about some families of 9/11 victims who are suing to get the (pulverized) remains out of a landfill. Do you know what this landfill is called? FRESH KILLS. I kid you not. If I were the judge in the case, my utterly unqualified non-legally-based opinion would be that it's impractical to sift (again) through all that garbage, I'd at least see what I could do about getting the landfill renamed.
Also, here's some YouTube goodness for the day.
