Theory rec of the week: Were Regulus & Sirius twins?
Snack food of the week: Pillsbury's ready-to-bake s'mores (especially if you let them cool and the marshmellows get all hard and stuff, yum)
Tropical weather system of the week: Alpha. We've never gone beyond the named systems before, and that's been in place for at least 60 years, IIRC. I think once we run our of letters, we should just start calling them "Uncle!" "No, we really mean it! We give in!" and "OMGWTF?" Although given the difficulty by the national weather people in pronouncing Punta Gorda, I think it would be fun to see them pronounce the latter.

My parents live in Port Charlotte, which is just across some water from Punta Gorda. When Charley hit last summer, I was struck by two things. First was that they focused on Punta Gorda because there are more mobile home parks there, so the devistation looked worse. Second was the correspondents who wanted to impress people by pronouncing Punta Gorda like they are a native, when they were really just looking like doofuses. I love the media.

LOL! I love the Punta Gorda thing. Which is only beat out in this area by the bad pronunciations of Matlacha.
