Took a much-needed day off on Friday, giving me the proverbial 3-day weekend. Besides a couple of basketball practices, I am the Overlord of my time. Stellar.
Just catching the 5PM news and they are saying a "Nor'easter" is coming. Why is everything a "Nor'easter"? I never heard the term until I read it in a Stephen King book, but over the last few years every storm is a "Nor'easter".
While we're on the subject, when did storms that are on the Pacific side become hurricanes? I remember learning as a lad that they were typhoons. I guess hurricanes have a better marketing team.
And what about Chilean Sea Bass. There's no such thing. It's a Patagonian Toothfish, but nobody wanted to eat that, so new name, and it's a wedding day favorite.
Oh well...
