I'd hate to be stuck in a stadium for days or weeks, but they tend to design them for worst-case scenarios. Safeco Field is supposedly one of the safest places in Seattle to be in a quake, and it wouldn't surprise me if the Superdome is the most hurricane-proof bit of NO.
What should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

Ack, that's hard, Dana. May shrift provide you with welcome mirth. Or porn. Whichever. Maybe just set aside certain allottments of news, no news the rest of the time.

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.
Melt some butter, then put the sage leaves in it. Press the leaves gently with a spoon to release the flavors. Suddenly you have a tasty and elegant topping for pasta. Especially good as an accompaniment to lamb.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Also, dry some of it, send it to sageless people in need of sage.
They may even be able to work some sort of rosemary exchange.
(My rosemary is insane.)

I like throwing stuff like that into flower arrangements, too, to add some depth to the scent. Dill is really good for that, too.

Our rosemary is dying, so that sounds like a plan....

I need to prune ours.
Again. Or as usual.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
When is landfall supposed to be? And when is it supposed to have passed New Orleans?
I'm filled with a whole lot of YOU CAN'T DO THAT! IT'S NEW ORLEANS which doesn't seem to be fading. Perhaps I should coccoon, or else get a sense of perspective.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
When is landfall supposed to be?
Sunrise. 6:00 am, IIRC.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Dana, I am glad you have talked to your parents now. Let shrift and DH distract you now.
Cass, one kid called it a puppycat.Oooh, do they want a puppycat of their very own? I think she'd ship. Few air holes, a priority stamp and Jordan's your puppycat... InotsoON, guess who likes to lie across the laptop? And reboot it?
they were like, OMG I have knowledge nobody else has! POWER!!!Hee!
I have a LOT of fresh sage this year. Someone please give me suggestions about what to do with it all.Roast a chicken. Stuff half a lemon in it, smoosh some butter mixed with the sage under the skin and roast away. Yum.
Also? In browned butter over any variety of pastas, especially stuffed.
I ate all my sage, I am sad.
My basil is being dramatic and wants water but I don't think I care enough to drag the hose around. Maybe I will just take it a glass of water instead.

I also sent an email to work saying I would not be in tomorrrow. Referenced my doctor's orders in it. I feel guilty and relieved at the same time.
