Fallen trees are still everywhere.  For those on facebook, I posted a few pictures,

When I graduated with my doctorate in 1991, I decided that I was now, officially and without possibility of excuse, a grown-up. Therefore, I resolved to do two things which I had been spotty about before, but which I believe defines grown-up-ness: writing thank-you notes and tipping in restaurants.

You know what the funny thing about that story is...if they weren't going to tip her because it was the "Sabbath" they shouldn't of even gone in there to eat in the first place. If you're going to say "people can't work on the Sabbath" you also have to say, "I'm not going to buy anything on the Sabbath." They go hand in hand.
