Glad to hear from you, -t! I'm so glad that you, Henry, the critters are OK.
Love makes you do the wacky.

Take care -t!
So, is it true that we've turned away help from other countries? Or is that only partially true?
President Bush said on GMA last night that other countries have offered, but the country could deal with this by themselves.
There is urban search and rescue teams from Vancouver down there. But they are apparent'y holed up in a suburban NO, and Search and Rescue have been halted for 6-12 hours because of gunfire in the area. [link]

Ann, that's a ferret.

I've heard that Venezuela offered help but was refused, but that's an unconfirmed rumor.
-t, good to hear you're ok.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
-t, thank you so much for checking in -- you and Henry have been on everyone's minds. So, so glad you're both okay and you've successfully shepherded your critters to safety, and vibing hard for a smooth, safe drive back for you and your parents.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm glad you're with family, -t. Good luck.
The rest of Tuesday and Wednesday were uneventful
That's something, anyway. What a story.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's great to hear from you, -t. And stop thinking about it as ranting or whining, Heather.
Damn, I lived in New Orleans for a grand total of 5 months, and I'm totally freaked out -- the both of you (and Dana) are handling this with more grace and less hysteria than I'd have thought possible.

-t, I'm glad you're safely with family. America West is hateful.
I knew they weren't whales! I swear! I just had them filed as "random other cool things" instead of specifically under "dolphins."
My classification system might need work, I admit.
Strega and Billytea, aren't dolphins, orcas and whales really all the same order? Cetaceans, I think?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
-t!! Honey! and Heather, well and truly ranted.

Trust my rage
-t, so glad to hear from you. I hope you have a safe day of driving! Heather, you can rant as much as you want here. That's what we are here for.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Killer whale: orcinus orca of the delphinidae (oceanic dolphins) family and the cetacean order.
While looking that up, I learnt that river dolphins have their own family (phocoenidae) and can be found in the Ganges, Amazon, and Orinoco.
