Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Weirdly, Weatherbug tells me that it is now about 3 degrees warmer than it was when I logged on about 5 hours ago.

T-Storm watch is only up for about another minute. We haven't had any storm activity here at all.

Woohoo Dover, PA!

Can we bus students from Kansas to there?

In other news, my apartment welcomed me home after a two day absence by dangling a black spider with what must have been a three inch legspan in front of my face as I sat at my computer. It escaped my attempts at swatting, though it can't be enjoying the Febreeze bath it got whilst retreating into a crevice. No idea where it is now, but if I wake up with it on me downstairs neighbor is going to have to live with the sewer backup my 30 minute scalding shower will cause.

Sumi, I wouldn't have pegged you for weather-nerdism. But you're sounding committed to your calling.

I'm thinking it's either an ethical issue or I'm overthinking things and being an idiot.

Allyson, you're overthinking. Would Tim even be doing the Expo were it not for you? Um...no.

Besides, how are we going to go out after and dish if you're not there?

Nothing quite says "Welcome Home!" like eight legs waving at you.

On the bright side I don't think it's a poisonous variety. But I could see its mandibles distinctly from six feet away after I jumped out of my chair.

So I'm not the only one who does this?

Though I tend to use Windex.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Daily Kos update, as of 11:11 PDT on the California props. [Note: "No" votes are a big fat fuck you to Arnold]:

He's looking rather less popular these days. Has California tired of him? Have there been any recent opinion polls? Oh, and I understand his wife dodged supporting him on these votes.
