I decided to take Victor
Lams up on his offer to create a customized “<a

Eclectic Amateur.
Here’s what I got:
“Eclectic Amateur ‘BlogTone in .rm format”
Victor, I don’t get it. I like it, but I don’t get it.
Same-sex marriage ‘alien to us,’ Inuit tell Commons committee.
They oppose same-sex marriage, so they must be troglodytes.
Oh, but they’re Inuit, opposing the imposition of white society’s
values on their traditional ways, so they must be heroes.
Heh.
Sadly, the people who should be bothered by this are experts
at maintaining contradictions inside their heads without their brains
exploding, so I don’t expect any light bulbs to come on.

Answer: “No, David, that’s what a tornado looks like.” Followed by
“Kids! To the basement, now!“
Happily, it was a not-quite-a-tornado. We got a very nice closeup
(does a mile count as “close” for this? I think so) of a funnel cloud
just hanging down toward the ground. But it wasn’t spinning,
so I guess it doesn’t count as a tornado. I think. I’ll see if the
National Weather Service agrees with me.
Update: According to the paper, it was a “wall cloud”, not a tornado.
It was still impressive.
