Freakout!
RPI managed to snatch a tie from the jaws of victory last night in the annual Big Red Freakout (RPI’s version of homecoming). RPI tied St. Lawrence 3-3. Keep in mind I’m talking about college hockey here! This lengthens our no-loss streak in the Freakout to 17 games. Go us!

Kennesaw is Armed to the Teeth
One of the blogs I read, Deltoid, came out with this tidbit today, about my neigboring town, Kennesaw, Georgia. It discusses the relationship between gun ownership and burglaries, and it mentions that Kennesaw passed an ordinance in 1981 that required all heads of household to own a firearm and supply it with ammunition. It was …
James Cameron is the Man!
