    I was going to say, there’s no reason to necessarily believe that the photographer survived, let alone remained sighted.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        @George-K

        I want to be on the committee that decides these words of venery.

        My first nomination would be “a haggard of milfs”.

          (that almost deserves its own thread)

          My nomination for that would be "sere." It's obscure enough of a word to make people take pause and think..."What?"

                Details from La Wik:

                Spearfish holds the world record for the fastest recorded temperature change. On January 22, 1943, at about 7:30 a.m. MST, the temperature in Spearfish was −4 °F (−20 °C). The Chinook wind picked up speed rapidly, and two minutes later (7:32 a.m.) the temperature was +45 °F (7 °C). The 49 °F or 27 °C rise in two minutes set a world record that still holds. By 9:00 a.m., the temperature had risen to 54 °F (12 °C). Suddenly, the Chinook died down and the temperature tumbled back to −4 °F or −20 °C. The 58 °F or 32.2 °C drop took only 27 minutes.[18][19][20] The sudden change in temperatures caused glass windows to crack and windshields to instantly frost over.[21][20]

                  Related to the above, I read that a mountain in NH just set the record for the coldest windchill. -106 F. -45 F temperature with 97 mph wind.

                  :eek
