Life Imitates CHiPs...

Massive pileup closes I-93 in New Hampshire
A 59-vehicle pileup on Interstate 93 yesterday morning in Derry, N.H., left the University of Massachusetts-Boston women’s hockey team trapped in a bus for nearly two hours and sent a dozen people to hospitals while shutting down a stretch of highway.

Maybe I'm a child of the '70s, but the first thing that came to mind when I saw this story was the nigh-unbelievable crashs shown on CHiPs. Except this was real life. Although, to be fair, the cause of this crash was slippery conditions caused by snow squalls, whereas on CHiPs it was usually a speeder in a Camaro...

That is all.

One of my first hints at aging was hearing a young co-worker (this is well over a decade ago) talk about the "new" band Seven Mary 3. First time I'd ever heard of them. Of course, I said, "oh, they named a band after Ponch's partner?"

After ensuing conversation, where I recanted how Ponch was Seven Mary 4, it was agreed that I was old (at the time, I was around 29).
