When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
b) Why were people confused when Julia Roberts married Lyle Lovett? Makes perfect sense to me. I'm craxy over him.
I was confused because her having that much taste seemed weird.
And then I was confused because people were confused for other reasons. Lyle Lovett is lovely.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I hope it turns out to be nothing, Consuela.
I guess that's a problem with people timeshifting their TV and radio -- there's less of a way to get through to them Right Away. OTOH, last time I was made aware of an alert, someone called one of the people I was out with, and then two of us used our phones to get on the web and look up the story as it was breaking.

They're telling people to get out of low-lying areas along the river in Sonoma County.
And we just got a NWS Severe Thunder Storm warning for eastern Alameda County. Huh. It's not even raining right now.

What Plei said.
It's been raining here since last night, Consuela, sometimes really hard, and I lost power sometime between 5:00 and 7:00 this morning.

It could have chosen a better weekend for this weather. I have 200+ lbs of dog in my house, and they're a little ripe. And a leaky sink. Pffft.

I think I'm ringing in the new year with cat barf. Off to petwhatever to go buy hairball goo. Sigh.

Yeah, I couldn't figure out what he must have been thinking.
I think I'm ringing in the new year with cat barf.
Hey, I have dog barf! I think I'm taking myself out for coffee before I break out the carpet cleaner.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Huh. Just got my first Emergency Warning broadcast, for flooding along the Russian River.
Ooh, that's scary. Good luck, NoCal!!!
OK, dishes are done. A couple of thank-you notes have been written. Coats have been hung up. Things are coming together.

What is even happening?
Consuela, I hope the predictions are worse than reality. Are you in a low lying area?
Probably be a quiet day here, just hanging around the house until we head down to Alexandria for First Night celebrations.
Sounds fun, Sheryl. I think we might take down the Christmas tree, now. We were going to wait until tomorrow, but it would be nice to have the house back to normal for a couple of days before everyone goes back to school and work.
We generally don't go out on NYE, any more. I think our last big shindig was the NYE a couple of months after we were married. The next NYE, I was in my 9th month of pregnancy. One or two of the years when we only had Ben, we went to a s-i-l's house, but went home before midnight, so we wouldn't have him on the road with as high a concentration of drunk drivers. Once Julia and Chris came along, there was little sense to even trying to go somewhere.
I'd like to have NYE parties here, someday, but I'm paranoid about people drinking at my house, and then driving home. I think I'd have to have an understanding ahead of time that people who came, would stay overnight. That seems like less fun. If I hit the lottery, I'll hire limos.
What is everyone else doing, tonight?
