JSIS: Lisa Freeman-- Waffle House Index

JSIS--  Just Some Interesting Stuff

1.  LISA FREEMAN--  Congratulations to Lisa Freeman who has been selected as Northern Illinois University's new president last week.  She is the first woman to hold the job.  We saw her earlier this month when she spoke at the alumni reception before the NIU-Utah football game.

2.  WAFFLE HOUSE INDEX--  One thing I learned about as Hurricane Florence approached North Carolina was this quaint, but accurate way FEMA categorizes storms like this.  It has to do with that very Southern eating place called Waffle House, which are always open.

If the Waffle Houses in the area affected are open with full menu, that means the storm isn't too bad.

Open, but limited menu means somewhat bad.

Closed means real bad.
