Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And super-lamely, the next one would be Alpha. Why not Aaron? And then, um Bbob.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Sophia Brooks - my cat used to do that. But she'd only suck my neck. I've no idea. She'd go nuts over it.

And then she jumped out the window of my flat.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Okay, Hurricane Zod would sort of be awesome. Especially if it roared onto land and yelled "Kneel before Zod!"

Ack! How terrible. This just reaffirms my paranoia about windows.

OK, which airlines are going under ? I hate searching fares. Too many choices, so many of them bad.

Our wings are not tired.

After reading the extended meteorlogical stuff I'm hoping for a weakening before I have to make a decision.

However...despite the favorable large scale environment...Wilma is near its maximum potential intensity and further strengthening is not anticipated. Most likely...the small eye will collapse followed by slight weakening or some fluctuations in intensity. Eyewall replacement cycles will likely control the intensity for the next 2 to 3 days while the hurricane is over the northwestern Caribbean Sea. Thereafter...once Wilma reaches the southeastern Gulf of Mexico and encounters the westerlies and high shear...weakening should begin.

My mother (in NY at the moment) lives in a manufactured home right in the projected path on the west coast. I am about to call her and ask her for a list of stuff she wants removed. I don't want to upset her, but I'd rather err on the side of caution here. We'll be heading over to help sis and bro board up.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The MTA is lowering fares during the holiday season:

The fare reduction will, alas, be temporary. The authority intends to reduce the base fare by half - to $1 - on weekends between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day and throughout the last week of December, using part of an unforeseen surplus that could reach $928 million by the end of the year.

In addition to the base fare reductions, "bonus days" are to be added to the life of 7-day and 30-day unlimited-ride MetroCards. Riders of the Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North Railroad who buy a monthly pass in December will receive a free 10-trip off-peak pass "for use by family and friends." Those who buy a weekly pass that month will get a free round-trip ticket.

Hugs to everyone. It sounds like we need it.
