No link. I just heard this on DC news radio, WTOP.

On edit: it was a live tree.

Note to self: plan for activities for the next observance of National Smartass Day.

4. That's what I was wondering. Does the nation still have its Christmas lights up, too?

8. The winds are horrendous today

I live near Gaithersburg, and can see trees outside moving wildly in this wind. It can't be my imagination that the local climate has gotten windier and windier over the years, can it?

Stay safe neighbor!
