DisaPIERance

Friday, September 19, 2003

  • TITLE: "DisaPIERances" A pretty good pun.

  • "� Hurricane �" According to my Merriam-Webster's Unabridged, the word "Hurricane" is from the Spanish hurac�n, from Taino hurak�n, from hura wind, to blow away.

    By the way, here's what "Taino" means from the Welcome to Puerto Rico website.

    Ta�no Indians, a subgroup of the Arawakan Indians (a group of American Indians in northeastern South America), inhabited the Greater Antilles (comprising Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola [Haiti and the Dominican Republic], and Puerto Rico) in the Caribbean Sea at the time when Christopher Columbus' arrived to the New World.

  • "� Davis on Mars �" Here's the link to the SF Chronicle piece on Gray Davis pandering for votes from people on other planets.

  • Mullfoto of the Day:


    This is the front cover of an actual book for sale at the Border's Bookstore on Union Square in San Francisco.

    It SHOULD have been titled: "How to Start a Business in California and Other Ridiculous Ideas."

    A pier is buffeted by high winds, large waves, and a strong storm surge!
