Stick That in Your Funk & Wagnalls

Tropical Storm Barry

I rode the Virginia MS 150 this weekend, and had the opportunity to ride through the remnants of Tropical Storm Barry. At the finish line, I was having a conversation about the first named storm of the year, which we couldn’t recall. The person I was talking with seemed to think it hit sometime in April (which as it turns out isn’t unprecedented), while I guessed May 15th. Well, once again, Wikipedia to the rescue. It was freshly edited with information from YESTERDAY! It is still unbelievable that we have this resource. “Look that up in your Funk & Wagnalls!” Anyone remember where that line is from?

    It may be rice wine to you, but it’s saki to me. :)
