I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Dana, your family didn't evacuate to any of the other areas that are now threatened, right?
They're in Jackson and Vicksburg, MS. They'll be getting some heavy winds later today. The bigger concern is the family house that's on the coast near Bay St. Louis, which was destroyed by Camille.

She'll be needing all that water to put out the burn she just got.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
