    Beautiful night to get back out to the observatory on campus. Saw Saturn for my first time!

    Ever come down to Cherry Springs State Park in northern PA? It's said to have the darkest skies in the eastern U.S., and it's an International Dark Sky Park. Occasionally they have star parties. Astronomers flock there. It would be a bit of a haul, probably almost three hours. You'd be in the middle of nowhere in Pennsyltucky — I wouldn't recommend any canoeing with that perty mouth of yers. But you'd pass through Coudersport and could flip the bird at the memory of John Rigas if you are so inclined.

  2. Kind of a funky, powerful sausage, with the strong taste coming from the meat and not the spice. It's tough to describe, like trying to describe "pork" to a vegetarian.

    I'm in midseason perv form.

    Must be an eastern PA thing. The first time if ever heard that description was in this thread.

    I always assumed it was a "down home" Pennsylvania term. Down home is sort of an indefinable geographic area in and around central and southern PA. When people moved north to work in the oil fields around Titusville and Bradford, they talked about being from "down home." My mum said she had to "red up the table" after dinner and warned us boys to not "go rammin' around" the neighborhood.

  3. Her content and methodology are intense. On Twitter, she does a nice job of connecting #fancystats to a normal fan's enjoyment of, frustration with his/her favourite team.

     

    All self-taught, too, IIRC.

    Self-taught? You don't say. That would be the only way to learn something they're making up as they go, no?

  4. That's because we are all afraid we're going to end up in a North Korean prison in a cell next to Yuri.

    Nah. I took a shot at Dear Father Pegula last night and I'm still here. Hold on, a dark sedan just pulled up in front of the house.

  5. Agree, mjd. This feels like a year to just sit back, relax and be a fan again. It's going to take time. Why stress? And so much crud has been washed away — Lindy, Darcy, Leino, Hodgson, Miller, the shield-licker (forget his name, sorry), Stafford, Battista, Black. I know I'm forgetting some. Vanek maybe? Myers? Our long national nightmare is over. Even Terry is surely spending 80% of his time at One Bills Drive. Reset time. It feels good.

  6. The whole show built up to this huge battle yet

     

    none of the main characters ACTUALLY died and it was such an easy win. Terrible.

     

    Many have claimed that some Sabre fans, myself included, are so pessimistic that even after a Cup win, they'd bitch. I think that spolier will be my beef with our first Cup.

  7. Let's enact a law to make the number of unreported rapes go up, brilliant.

     

    You are boarder line victim blame here.  "If she was raped, she would see her rapist in jail, if she won't go that far, maybe she wasn't raped."  That's a rephrase of how I read your post.  That's a very absolutist view and I disagree.

     

    "Supporting and protecting the victim who has been compelled to testify becomes paramount."  Your law does the exact opposite of protecting or supporting a victim. It immediately marginalizes them and makes them scared to come forward. So let's add stress and trauma to what was already stress and trauma.

    If you're not going to testify, why come forward? Anyway, I don't envision that the mere reporting of a crime would kick in the requirement to testify.

     

    Another thing to think about is the wasted tax dollars and precious law enforcement resources that are put into these cases, only to have the investigators find out -- whoops -- we don't have a victim anymore.

    Channel 4 reporting they have sat down for settlement talks but aren't close.

    I might vomit. All I can do is make a Darcy joke. The market isn't set.
