I cannot begin to properly describe how much I loathe and despise Network Solutions, the most predatory, ghost-clicking, sleazy pond scum of a company I have ever had to deal with. Their forms are full of little 'gotchas' that are pre-populated under the fold to sign you up for crap you don't want.

Don't usually see these kinds of pseudo-mammatus clouds here in the winter. Looks like it might rain—maybe diurnal convective activity? It hit +3C today in Minneapolis (another oddity, but not unusual for the last decade or so).
