RAFTHOLES
Let's hop on a raft on a cold,blustery November day, get thrown around by six foot waves, bash into some cliffs, endanger lives of ourselves, animals and rescue personnel, and call it a day. Or night.

DRINKING A LITTLE RADIOACTIVE WATER BUILDS CHARACTER
Another leak at VY/Entergy La, this time just a dribbling of RADIOACTIVE WATER!
Question: Would you rather be a Chilean miner or be a Vermont Yankee Spokesman?

In New York, the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory discharged hundreds of gallons of radioactive water into the Hudson River last month. Officials said it was not a public health concern. Oh, okay - I feel better now.

CRUISE SHIP "SURVIVORS" FED POP TARTS
You know what? Tow that cruise ship with its poor, bedraggled passengers over to Haiti and give the medicine, canned crabmeat, bottled water and other foodstuffs to the people that really need it - the cholera victims.

FIVE CORNERS UPDATE
Dilemma at the Essex Junction Five Corners Light yesterday. We were stuck behind a dump truck with a big sign on the tailgate stating CONSTRUCTION VEHICLE - DO NOT FOLLOW. Yikes! What do we do? If we can't follow it, do we have to turn around? If we follow it, will we be arrested? And who made the rules about not being to follow this truck?


By the time the light changed, the sign on the truck had weathered and was unreadable so we didn't have to worry.
