For want of anything more interesting to write about this evenng (a major case of blogger's block) here's a factoid I learned this morning, Did you know that the longest geographic name in the United States is
Lake Chargoggaggmanghauggauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg? This is a lake near Webster, Massachusetts, I guess Massachusetts wasn't a long enough name. So, OK, if you tell me that you are already familiar with the name of this lake, I will accept that. But do you know what it means? According to my source, this a Native American word that means "You fish on you side, I fish on my side, nobody fishes in the middle." While I applaud the sentiment couldn't they condense it into something that means "Fish on your own side?'
