Wellard, I hate to be one of those jargon-translating guys...well, maybe not [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img] but todays youth (as Timber would say, speaking "yewth") like our Jen use the word "gay" in a perjorative way, synonymous with "awful". As in "What's with that guy's shirt?" "That's so gay." Good morning, all. A fine morning, here, breezy and cool. I went 3 1/2 miles and Galadria went 6.3. Much faster than me, natch. Edit: to correct "Yewth" jargon.
