SOME QUICK THOUGHTS AND QUOTES OF THE WEEK

Just a quick post today due to the fact that we are getting killed at work, due to the fact that torrential rain has been falling throughout New England since Thursday evening, and will continue right through Tuesday. For those that don't know, I am a traffic reporter by trade (actually I a traffic information Manager, but Traffic reporter sounds better), and once heavy rains come in, all of the roads in our area go straight to Hell. So far, we are over 15, 000 calls to our syestem, which is unreal for a Sunday at this time of year. Most of the calls are from frantic people, wanting to know if th roads theywant to travel on are passable. So far the roads are holding up okay for the most part, but if this keeps up, we could have some big problems to start he early part of the work week.

- It is true that you never know who is reading these blogs. I got an E-Mail from a guy who runs the official Pearl Jam fan site the other day. He saw my review on the new disc and was impressed with it. When I go the two shows in Boston in two weeks, my reviews of those shows will be posted on that site, in addition to this blog. Pretty cool if I don't say so myself. He also forwared me some very cool audio links. Mnay thanks. Here are the links to what he sent me:

QUOTES OF THE WEEK

"It's very humbling, almost a culture shock. Basically, you have no respect and you don't deserve any."
- Patriots 1st round draft pick Laurence Maroney on his first practice at Patriots mini-camp

" I don't think it's legitimate. What he could have done without performance-enhancing drugs -- which he hasn't been proven guilty of [using], which I'm not buying -- you can maybe take what he had done in his prime, before his head started growing at an enormous rate, and just make those projections. Say that, 'This is what he could have done.' Maybe it's 550 home runs. I don't know. It definitely wouldn't have been anywhere close to 700."
- Philadelphia Phillies Pitcher Cory Lidle on Barry Bonds

"Expect torrential rain to continue right through Monday, with really no letup in sight until Wednesday."
- Channel 7 Boston Meterologist Chicage Windler
