TLAPD '08

Avast, me hearties! It be “Talk Like a Pirate Day” (TLAPD), that one day each year (or is that “yaar”?) when the letter “R” be over used and e’en landlubbers be encouraged to don a swashbuckling persona o’ that most wretched and fear’d cross-section o’ society (arr, that be’in “pirate”, in case yer be wond’rin’) and be adpat’in their (“thaar”?) speech patterns. That be mean’in “talk like them” (e’en in yer written communiqués).

So if’n ye’ve ne’er heard o’ TLAPD, then fire ‘up that new fangled communication contraption known as a “com-put-er”, and sail on over to www.talklikeapirate.com where ye can find out all sorts o’ ‘piratical’ things. Ye can e’en take a quiz to find out what yer very own Pirate name may be.

Plunder on, mates!

The Deep South - Update

So Thomson, GA weather has been as expected - hot and muggy. There was a little break with Hanna bearing down on the coast of GA/SC, but it didn't last more than a day.

I had hoped to be home by now, but the project was NOT ready for us when we arrived Tuesday (surprise, surprise), so I've been delayed. Not atypical, unfortunately. Currently, I'm scheduled to be heading home Tuesday morning; we should make that.

Next stop: Guntown Mississippi, but that's not until the week of Sept. 22. There is a project starting-up next week in Bemidji, MN, but fortunately, someone else will be handling that one.
