    We are in Brood X territory which is probably one of the larger broods. I remember them in 1987 and in 2004.

    Of course we get the "annual" ones every July and August.

    I prefer 16 year Lagavulin, but to each their own.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I remember the 1987 one well. I felt like the entire apartment building was surrounded by huge power transformers.
