Wishing damnation of others is tricky business. After all, what’s the criteria? Is it enough to retire, come back in a different, but fairly similar role, underperform, and then, seemingly, get your old job back from someone who worked really hard to get it? (Topical!)

The backside of one of those rooftop snow drifts, seen from our upstairs bathroom window:

Here are some gorgeous satellite photos of Category 4 Hurricane Bill — taken at 1:15 PM, 3:15 PM and 5:15 PM EDT, respectively — courtesy of the wide and narrow RGB satellite loops:
The Weather Channel’s Dr. Stu Ostro writes: “Did you know that Hurricane Camille made landfall on the same night as the final night of the Woodstock Music & Art Fair?” I sure didn’t. And that night was 40 years ago this week. Ostro even has the New York Times front page to prove it: Heh. Love the story placement. Three… Read more »
