QCI's return

I come back to you now - at the turn of the tide.

Actually I doubt its the turn of any tides, but I am back from vacation, and bonus points to whoever knows what movie that's from.

There's a lot going on, from officers being banned from working the fair, to officers getting almost shot, new I-74 bridges designs, Ian Frink's new blog, and even our own local spelling whiz winning all the marbles. (Edit: It was a geography bee this time, not spelling)

For now, an open thread, partly to see which of those things people are interested in discussing.
