Whether

I'm primarily a <a href="http://www.wunderground.com">Weather Underground</a> guy. [Yes, home brewed '70s terrorism fagen.] However, I should take advantage of my tax dollars and rely on union-made <a href="http://www.nwseo.org/">weather</a>.

Does the wunderground website come up in Dutch for you too, or is it one of those "smart" sites that knows which country the computer I'm using is based in?

I expected you to be a NOAA guy.

My lesbian exgirlfriend probably wrote that when she worked there as an undergrad when it was still a research project at Michigan...

One night she wasn't sober and the PI had sent her an email to change the root password, so she asked a friend what to change it to. Not understanding the suggestion, she changed the password to "beardedclam" which she embarassingly had to change the next day. So next time you're getting weather data, think "bearded clam," OK guys?

I'm all about good local weather forcasts! So cool they have a union and the backing of Senator Olympia Snowe in ME.

That's in addition to thinking "bearded clam" the rest of the time?

The union webpage just redirects you to the NOAA site.
