Seems the award business really is a ‘business’. After following the hijinks over in Maine, I’ve developed in incredible cynicism when it comes to awards and recognition. It might take some time, but creating a successful award franchise seems to be a good investment. The really depressing part here is looking back on all the award invoices that we paid ourselves. I agree that the cash would have been better spent on beer. Awards? We don’t need no stinkin’ awards.

Sounds kinda silly, but here in the Adirondacks we consider finding an old log a cool bit of news. Apparently some volunteer firefighters were doing some stuff at Brant Lake in Warren County when they spotted a log poking out of the water. Being good proactive Northcountrymen, they decided to hook it up to their truck and drag it out of the water. Well, it turns out this log had some unusual features.
