Arrrrrrr Mateys, the tide is high

So here it is: Talk Like A Pirate Day. And instead of doing a piratey thing tonight I am attending an event titled "Wine and Opera 101." Thursday will be spent with pirates instead. Oh well . . . so much for elegant timing.

So.....mental note: Never accept an invitation to a South African Cuisine Party.

In snake sightings: Keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times.

This headline leaped off the page at me. Bummer. I had big plans for my jumper leads. Oh well. I doubt Dixie would have gone for it anyway.

Please tell me that "booger" is some form of CSI jargon of which I am unaware.
