In addition to the comments above:

(1) shiny new toy is shiny

(2) too hard to feign interest any more ;)

(3) herd mentality

(4) more seriously, the mood in this forum has been pretty sour lately

Afternoon Box,

Anyone feel the quake up on the East Coast? Apparently, the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol have been evacuated as a precaution.

In addition, I just looked at the forecast track for Hurricane Irene and things could become rather interesting, WX wise, from the Outer Banks possibly up to the NYC area as this system moves north.....

Hope ya'll are prepared to hunker down.....and just make sure you have enough "refreshments" to see you through....

Ohhh, I don't know about that. I can think of one particularly handsome, charming and erudite fellow who—through no fault of his own, of course ;)—has been "repeatedly told [he is] not particularly welcome," yet that hasn't fazed me, er, I mean him at all!

And that would be where, pray tell?

Didn't feel it where I am in MA, but others 20 miles south felt it.

I think he/she was joking. At least, I hope so.

I would post this, but it would run afoul of proper decorum.
