Once upon a time, very long ago, Santa was having a very bad Christmas. The reindeers had gotten into the eggnog and got themselves quite drunk. Rudolph's nose was bright red, and the reindeer were tangled in their traces. Then as Santa was loading presents on to the sleigh, the runner broke off...

Yesterday's squall line brought some nasty weather to Florida. An F2 tornado took out a hangar and about 50 planes at Embry-Riddle at DAB. Here's a link to some stories and...
