Sail, one suggestion? I think you might want to hyphenate "pre-storm". I read it twice as "PRES-torm" and wondered what it meant....
I miss Oz. He'd get it. He wouldn't say anything, but he'd get it.

"Please revisit your politics," is my favorite, followed closely by "Add expletive for emphasis." Go ahead. Act surprised. Has anyone seen my muse? She seems to have pissed off.

"Delete--no one cares" is one I could use from time to time.
