DX, I thought the governor shut RI down completely -- official advisement to stay home, et cetera.
They haven't cleared RI yet? it's so small....
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Do they have power? I heard that lots of folks on the Cape are/were without power.
I didn't hear anything about it, so I'm assuming that they still have it. Otherwise, I think I'd have heard all about the DRAMA!!! and MAYHEM!!!
They're a rather fractious bunch.
Whee for Snow Days! Sorry for those that have to go to work anyway. It's just not right.
We are like in the 40's this morning. I could see my breath when I walked the dog. It won't last.

Are these the same ones that celebrate Thanksgiving by seeing who can get Grandma to go sit in the car for two hours?

OMG, this just made me laugh and laugh and laugh. Both the concept and juliana's succinct summarization. HA!
DX, Frank could probably get me to confess to shit I "ain't even did" to put it in the words of his usual,well, suspects(He could probably find Keyser Soze, too...dang, typing grammar that bad*hurt*) Thanks, though.
erikaj, your current tag line --
If you replace the talking horses with burned-out detectives there are clear similarities. Anne W. and I share a writing philosophy from childhood.
-- makes me want to see the two of you collaborate on a talking horse detective fic. You could call it Horseicide: Life on the Stables

Quick question for those who know meetings and possibly Roberts' Rules of Order:
If you are a person at a meeting who has a vote but who doesn't vote -- isn't that an abstention? Or do you actually have to say "I abstain" in order for it to be an abstention?
Thanks!
sumi, the closest I can find is:
On some occasions a call for abstentions may be proper, but this is not commonly invoked. But Chairs should be prepared for one or more members wishing to have their abstention recorded in the meeting’s minutes.
There is also an interpretation (in the legal sense) of Robert's that states:
Silence during the formal vote should be interpreted as abstention.
Thank you!
I knew I was right.
