If the Fighting Illini and Fighting Sioux represent ethnic slurs, why does Notre Dame get a free pass? And I request, nay, _demand_, that you folks drop "hooligan" from your vocabularies, blighting as it does a fine old Irish family name. For that matter, henceforth, no one shall be called "Bohemian" without ancestry (at least 1/8) from the ancient Kingdom of Bohemia.
On to the Sunday roadkill report. One fresh skunk in the middle of US 1A, welcoming the rusticators to Scenic Maine, and one dead canid so torn up and squashed that I couldn't tell if it was dog, fox, or coyote. On the other hand, I managed to bomb down Copland Hill without encountering a deer in the middle of the road. Top speed 41.3 mph.
Spent some time out at the nature center, watching hummingbirds fight over the feeders. Vicious beasts, and _very_ possessive.
