Bet 'cha you didn't...
 
know this:

Aeolus is the Regent of the Winds in Greek mythology (ok, for the
picky, there are three Aeolus in Greek mythology - we're discussing
the one associated with Odysseus).

Boreas (North Wind), Eurus(East Wind), Notus (South Wind), and Zephyr
(West Wind).

Pretty cool huh?

Dunno, but I never heard of it before now.

Damn - three new things I learned today. I've already learned six new
things this week alone.

I can stay stupid for a couple of days and still come out ahead of the
game. :)

You live in the holy land of seafood and you've never had aioli???? It's

cakes.

the infamous lobsta boat.

The last time I was in South Carolina I learned that when the State
Police give you a ticket you make the check payable to the local
Magistrate's name.
