Out of the Blue

My computer is still winning our battle of wills, but I keep pointing out to it that this is a marathon and not a sprint, so no victor can yet be declared (but this machine tasks me.... oh how it tasks me!). After being startlingly on the money in predicting our last couple of severe winter storms, the local weatherman is now oh-for-two on his last couple of forecasts, as the snow we were told to expect late last week never materialized, and the heavier storm predicted for this weekend has turned into rain rather than snow. This is more than welcome, since we still have an insane amount of snow on the ground, I just have to hope not too much of it ends up in my basement.

Actually it is like a super meta-quote.

Blue was quoting Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. However Star Trek II was in turn quoting Herman Melville's "Moby Dick". Through the course of Star Trek II Khan is spouting paraphrased lines of Captain Ahab from "Moby Dick".

That quote, Blue did, was from the best of the Star Trek movies. In case you didn't get it

I think the car is from back to the future. I could be wrong but looks that way to me.

Ok this is too good. If you watch closly in the backgroud behind DV you can see the starship enterprise and a car flying around.
