Firefox’s browser-tab-saving feature is sometimes a help; the day after Halloween, there were six tabs, all containing information about Soul Asylum and the “Grave Dancers...

“It’s just Sesame Street.”
– My mother told me today that this is what she would tell me when I was around 2 years old and I would start crying when she turned on the windshield wipers because they scared me.
