Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Mom was telling me earlier that one of the problems with the estimated height of the storm walls is that a lot of the reefs that buffered the costal cities have eroded.

Also, can the lady on the weather channel please stop acting like she's watching a bass fishing tournament. "A whopping category 5! That's as big as it gets, folks!"

I also dislike people calling other people folks.

Silence means security silence means approval

I'm trying to believe that a lot of the hysteria is because CNN and the Weather Channel have a lot of airtime to fill.

Well, it IS August. OTOH, when the National Weather Service issues a statement like this that starts with the line "MOST OF THE AREA WILL BE UNINHABITABLE FOR WEEKS"... then maybe it is time to panic.

I just hope the roof on the superdome thingie stays put. For some reason, this really worries me.

The dome was built to withstand 200 MPH winds and is made of reinforced concrete. It should hold.

On NPR, they had Senator Landrieu (I'm likely massacring the spelling) and she specifically brought up the loss of marshland as part of what makes NO and LA so vulnerable.

In first world issues... I have a LOT of fresh sage this year. Someone please give me suggestions about what to do with it all.

dw, thanks. I wasn't sure what kind of construction it was. Dad was at his first professional baseball game last week, in Seattle, and brought up concerns about the type of roof architecture used in various stadiums (heck all the nearby stadiums where I grew up are open air.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Make a lot of turkey stuffing?

I weirdly like sage in scrambled eggs. Subtle flavor. But poultry, potatos, white fish, in tomato sauces....

Or you could just smudge everything.

Your tag here.

Sage sandwich?

Mmm, sage mixed into hamburgers with swiss cheese.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

then maybe it is time to panic.

Yes, but I already have the panicking part covered.
