If you eat at an Olive Garden in Indianapolis, you deserve to be sick.

Is it possible to grow an olive garden? Any suggestions appreciated. This will be a fun winter hobby plan for the spring.

The New York Times apparently thinks the Pacific Northwest is still just a forested wilderness. It took them until 12:00 noon today (Eastern time) to post anything about the storm, and not a word mentioned about deaths, power loss, or effects on busy cities. Oh, they did mention the lost hikers.

You aren't a forested wilderness?

deadly storms that knock down trees and power happen all the time in the midwest. it just seems like a bigger deal because it never happens here. so i'm not really surprised that the NYT didn't run with it. But cable and broadcast news? They live for this shit. Remember the nisqually quake? You'd think the entire city looked like the fenix given the televised coverage.

So why exactly do companies store sensitive employee information in laptops? Fucking idiots.

@7 - it isn't usually "companies", it's usually some dude who decides to take an excel spreadsheet export of several hundred thousand records home on a thumbdrive or a laptop and then leaves it at sbux or something.

@8 - Totally. That was the road to one of our favorite campin' spots. Sucked.

I don't see why you don't try the field goal.
