Stick a fork in them

The Bruins made several high-profile trades over the last twenty four hours.

Here's what I know so far:

1. Brad Marchand to the Panthers.
2. Charlie Coyle to the Avalanche.
3. Brandon Carlo to the Maple Leafs.
4. Justin Brazeau to the Wild.
5. Trent Frederic to the Oilers.

There may be others but those are the big ones.

This is basically ownership saying, "We give up."

Hopefully they get some young talent and excellent draft picks in return because those players are pretty good players.

In the baseball world, it was a good day to be a Red Sox fan. They beat the crap out of the Marlins this afternoon with a final score of 20-5.

As I said the other day, I'm getting excited about this team.

Tomorrow they take on the Twins and once again, I'll have to listen to it on the radio because NESN isn't carrying the game

We woke up this morning to find that at some point in the middle of the night, we lost power.

I suspect it was due to the 50-70 mph wind gusts we got to enjoy overnight:

When I checked the power outage map this afternoon, I discovered that we had dodged a bullet:

Each one of those dots represents an outage. If there is a number in the dot, it represents separate outages close together.

• This kinda pisses me off. I could give two shits about GMA but I liked the data that FiveThirtyEight always provided.



• So, they're guys.



• People are stupid.



• So I guess "a group of scientists" is just another way of saying, "men"...
