[Sca-cooks] Online Glossaries was Something else entirely

[ysabeau]

I think that translates into every part of life. I'm finding 
myself asking really stupid questions right now. I'm a Texan, in 
Boston on business, and about to experience my first "nor'easter". 
The locals laugh but answer my stupid questions such as "Should I 
stock up on food in my hotel room?" "How much snow before the town 
shuts down?" After seeing the pictures from a week or so ago, I'm 
a bit worried but they say it will be fine.

So, there is no such thing as a dumb or stupid question because 
informed decisions are always better.

Ysabeau,
waiting for the snow to start
