This weekend’s snowstorm and the ongoing airline turmoil provides a perfect background to check out the John Candy/Steve Martin 1987 film: Plains, Trains and Automobiles. This film is full of laughs and strangely prescient for a nearly 20 year old movie. I’m not optimistic that air travel will improve a whole lot the next few years.

Saturday Snow Storm: Music to Shovel…. or a Snowstorm Playlist :)
A few selections from the music my ipod shuffled to while shoveling earlier today (Madison received about 8″ of snow).
- Pink Floyd On The Turning Away
- Dire Straits Every Street
- U2’s I will follow
- The Jesus & Mary Chain
Just Like Honey
Ironically, I received an email this morning from Tony Novak-Clifford, host of Manao Radio’s Sunday Mornings “Sunday Solstice” program as well as Monday & Tuesday morning’s “Academy of Errors”. Tony’s email mentioned a rainy Maui Saturday morning.
UPDATE:
Dave sends a link from Boston, which will soon have quite a bit of snow. More Madison Photos: Gala & James Gardner catch snowplow stuck in a snowbank. Ann Althouse posts two early morning photos. More later…
Lafayette, LA: Fiber to the Home; One time $1,079 per person
David Isenberg summarizes the latest news from LaFayette, Louisiana’s community fiber network plans (Madison should be so forward thinking!)
Finally, the price tag on the project is $125 million. The population of Lafayette is 116,000. That’s $1077.59 per person. Would you pay $1100 once to have fiber in your town forever after? N.O.B.R.A.I.N.E.R.
