So, for the uninformed, i.e. me, what exactly is "pacific"?

Years ago in my former life as a TV news photographer, we were covering a "hundred year flood" in one of the major cities in our viewing area. The mayor gets on camera and says, "This tragedy will go down in the anals of our city's history."

And then another of our local politicians used to love talking about the new "ambalances" he was able to get for the county rescue squads.

Finally, the city council member who couldn't say more than a few words without adding an "uh". So he uuuh talked uh like this, and uuuuhhh, it uh was rather uuuuuuhh hilarious. It got even better when one of the other photogs put together a several-minute highlight reel of this guy saying nothing but "Uh uuuhhh uh uh-uh uuuuhhhh."

You filmed Obama early in his political career?

Back in the eighties I was doing a report on ionized meteor trails in the upper atmosphere. I wrote to an astronomy group for information. In their response, they remarked about the humorous way in which I misspelled "mesopause."

Here is something to think about:

Death row inmate too sick to be executed, lawyers say

Lawyers for a death row inmate are asking Ohio Gov. John Kasich to spare their client’s life, arguing that the 69-year-old killer of an 18-year-old man is in such poor health that he should be spared.

I suppose they need to make him well enough to execute.

I guess it's sort of like when they find someone too mentally unfit to stand trial so they seek to cure him in order for them to be tried.
