EXTRA POINT
The good news is that when we were driving into Hanover under the cover of darkness early this morning we didn't have to battle the fog that has hung over the area for much of the past week.

The bad news is that our reason for getting up early and driving to campus was to deliver That Certain Dartmouth '14 to the bus for a ride down to Logan Airport and then a flight back to Utah and Bryce Canyon. Tears were shed.

Finally, for those keeping score, there's a rumor of the sun peeking through this afternoon for the first time in a week. While I'm not from Missouri, you're going to have to show me. Nuthin' so far.
