From gadling.com yesterday:

Obese passengers in Canada have the right to two seats for price of one:

“…According to Reuters, today the Supreme Court of Canada ruled… that obese people have the right to two seats for the price of one on flights within Canada.…”

And I thought the 9th Circuit Court came up with some doozies!

Would You Believe…

…a rain rate of 4.12" per hour???

Wow!!

The rainfall picked up a bit a minute or two back, so I checked the weather station console; it was coming down at a rate of 1.55" per hour!! Fortunately, it’s backed off to a more comfortable .12" per hour.

That’s Two…

Power dropped again at 8:25p; came back about 8:51p. Much cleaner on both ends this time around.

Fortunately, That Wasn’t Too Bad

Lost the juice about 3:20p; came back quite a bit sooner than PG&E’s predict (3:45p - 5:45p): 4:05p or thereabouts.
