-Peconic Jeff, quoting Mark Twain* in regards to NOAA and iWindsurf failing to call today's 20 knot blow.
(*The coining of the original phrase is attributed to Disraeli, who talked about lies, damn lies, and statistics. Twain (a Mississippi waterman) had to declare the night before whether he was going windsurfing or riverboating, and was often peeved when burned by the Farmers Almanac.)
