    The statement by the suspects is glorious. The city was so 'covered in snow' that they couldn't walk 0.7 miles to Salisbury Cathedral, but they could walk over a mile to Christie Miller road, in completely the opposite direction. Poor lambs, they clearly got really lost!

    Someone made a contribution to NPR in my name! I'm really moved -- that's never happened to me before! I guess in all my years at private media outlets, it never occurred to me to think about funding. Thanks to all of you who support NPR and public radio. You make it possible.

    How do you fortify a ferris wheel during a hurricane? You don’t. You crack a cold one, grease the bearings, take the bonnets off and let that sucker spin in the wind. This, I’m told by Atlantic Fun Park GM Kevin Bryan, is the safest storm-tested method. 📍
