OK, let's make this quick.  Thanks to something called 'the Greenland Block', (Zymm, while you're stuck there anyway see if you can give that thing a quick shove and get it moving), Connecticut has been stuck in a weather pattern involving near constant, and heavy, rain and/or thunderstorms, along with

I was watching 'Heat' last night.  Great movie, until you start to think about what's going on and that not much of it makes sense.  Take Waingro, for instance.  After he kills that hooker the forensics specialist tells Pacino's character that she'll bet when they get the semen sample the
