#1 Three cheers for our doughty* drone operators!

* I'm not exactly sure what doughty means, but if it's good enough for the Brits, it's good enough for me.

#6 "Doughty" brings to mind the Pillsbury dough boy. Or maybe the Michelin tire guy or the Sta-Puft Marshmallow man in Ghostbusters.

#7 Drew Doughty's a fine defenceman for the LA Kings. Reminds me a lot a Bobby Orr.

#8 My version of running away, Snowy Thing. ;-) No, my mother is moving into a retirement community near us, and wants to bring her car from Buffalo. So I took the bus up today, and we'll drive back tomorrow. My very independent, 88 year old mother thought nothing of driving the 500 miles on her own, "By easy stages," she said, "taking plenty of breaks." Nonetheless, in addition to her age, she has a tradition of mini-strokes, and the thought of that happening on the road is terrifying. Officially I'm just keeping her company, but unofficially we'll take turns doing the driving, and I'll definitely do the tricky bits around Cleveland and heading into Cincinnati. Besides, I'm accustomed to the GPS, while she's a technophobe and afraid of her cell phone.
