I was reminded today that my haircut is awesome. I didn't do jack to it this morning, and walked through driving wind and rain multiple times, and it still looks pretty darn good.
Natter Area 51: The Truthiness Is in Here
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I don't suppose you managed to get a picture of this?
I was too busy clutching my circle skirt. But I had to come home and change anyway, so in a couple minutes I will be windproof and heading back out.
I keep wanting to stand at the window and watch the dust storm over the hills (which seems to have blown all its particulate matter further west, for the moment). But when I get near the windows for any length of time, a series of gusts will rattle the windows in their frames and I feel a sudden urge to take five big steps back, away from the big sheets of glass. Noaa is saying the gusts are peaking at 35mph.
Apparently it's not just a dust storm obscuring the hills. Part of Beverly Hills is on fire: [link] They're forcibly evacuating people.
And a bad day to be a small dog, leashed or no.
I'll get you, my pretty...
All I can say is, ealier this week we had both the snowy sleet and the gale force winds. I'm perfectly happy to have shoved these things in either direction. Plus we took your Scola. Muah ha ha.
Timelies all!
My folks arrive tomorrow. Whee. We're taking them with us when we go to our dance group's gig on Saturday.(The event is called Marching Through Time, and my dad's a history buff, so we thought this might work) The forecast is calling for thunderstorms. Did I mention the event's outdoors?
According to jetBlue, the Scolapaloza Express has just entered Illinois airspace....
Cool! Tommyrot, I think my e-mail to the midwest list has been blocked.
I got an email from you via the list at 2:42. Is that what you're talking about? It seems to have gone through OK.
Perhaps your spam filter is blocking it?
I see it, aurelia. I'm be heading out for Scolapalooza shortly, and I'll relay the message. I can't stay out very late, but some of the other Chicagoistas might.
