Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

I'm toying with the idea of getting a pay-as-you-go phone/plan from T-Mobile. Anyone have any experience they want to share, or an alternate recommendation that I could get up and running by Thursday morning?

Skipping ahead like crazy to say -- if you don't have a phone by Thursday, my cell is yours to monopolize this weekend.

Can't beat that dude with a stick. Or, I mean, you can, and that is what is fun about him.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Big-assed photo of Katrina from space:

That pic looks faked. Not saying it is, but where's the source?

Silence means security silence means approval

Looks like it's from NASA. Here are some of their other images.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Thanks, honey. I'd be a lot calmer if I could just get in touch with my parents.

A lot of my Dad's family evacuated to Memphis.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Dana, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I don't know how much I could do from DC, but if there's anything you need, let me know.

-t, if you see this, that goes for you too.

Some of the NOAA satellite images are hard to credit. It's pretty amazing.

From a distance.

But none of their pics look like this [link] Not even the same angle. I'm just suspicious because it looks *very* clean (there are some digital edges that look like google earth), it's on some dude's website that just happens to have other photo manipulations-- and I can't find this great pic anywhere else.

Thrive to spite them

Dana--

I have a Virgina Mobile phone you can use this weekend. Well, it's Mom's.

It needs to be reactivated and I'll do that tonight when I get home. I'm driving up to Atlanta Thursday. I'll email you my number and the cell number I'm using so we can coordinate how to get you the phone.

Thanks, Allison. I appreciate the offer, but I think I'm covered. It seems likely that it might be a while before my parents get here, and I'm going to want the phone long-term. Or, if miraculously, everything is solved, I can use shrift's phone over this weekend.

The DragonCon schedule is up, by the way. I saw at least three Serenity panels, all scheduled for huge rooms.
