P.S. Anyone ever use the term "owly"?? Another colleague who grew up in Vermont was fasinated when his daughter who was in high school here used that term. He had never heard of it. He must have asked about a dozen people at work and only those generally from around here knew what it meant. Do you??

Sorry for the hijack but why not...???
Bubbler is a brand name, just like "crescent wrench" alot of sailors say Bubbler because guess what brand of drinking fountains end up on ships. of course the proper term is scuttlebutt.
