Carnival Triumph Still At Sea
No reports on whether those on shore can smell the arriving vessel yet. Oy, what a fiasco. My heart goes out to all the folks trapped on that boat.

I discussed that very topic with the delightful Andrea Syrtash and turned our talk into an article that the Toronto Star is featuring today.
