Thanks to the Katrina hurricane, we had a couple of thunderstorms here yesterday (even if we're far, far away north from where it happened, it always produce interesting climatic 'side effects' up here) which seem to have knocked out my cable modem, so I couldn't post news until... now. I condensed only the best from today and yesterday (~ 20 posts in a day would have been a bit much), so enjoy!
