Here's what happens when you don't have an official mascot: Yahoo has a list of the top 25 most unique mascots in the land and coming in at, oh, No. 1 is Keggy, Dartmouth's unofficial mascot. (Thanks for the link.)

And finally, this is post No. 3,500 on the Green Alert blog if you can believe it. This blog began as a "loss leader" to tease people into subscribing to the premium site, but it long ago outlived that usefulness. More than a few people have suggested – strongly in some cases – that I put it behind the password but (sadly for me ;-) there's a significant disparity in the number of visitors to the blog and to the premium site. I just figure if I'm going to spend time at the keyboard pulling this thing together each morning it ought to reach the widest audience, so enjoy!
