Well, it looks like Dean decided he prefers the senoritas and the tequila. I'm very sorry, Mexico, but we don't need the stress at work just now. Mother Nature, if you want to send a few Cat 2s or milder towards Carolina or something, I promise to buck up and do the job.
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

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.

Dag! Even if I could have gotten that up the stairs, I'm pretty sure I would have needed to buy a new TV stand.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yeah, one of the things that finally pushed us over the edge to a flat screen (aside from, you know, WANT) was the horrible prospect of getting another CRT the size we'd have wanted up to the second floor.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It might fit, but no way can I lift it. Oh well.

I just feel the need to continually justify why I didn't take the TV Tom offered me for free.

My 'new' TV, it took two guys carrying it in v e r y c a r e f u l l y. I figure it's safe from being stolen casually, anyway.

I am getting a new to me TV today too. Megan is selling me her old 27". I just put my smaller TV down in the basement (where I am right now.) So I can do yoga videos down here. And for the first time my computer and TV are in the same room. So I can watch and post, if there's ever a TV show that people watch that I will get at the same time.

Here's something weird. Tropical Storm Erin came ashore last week, broke up, and moved into hot Oklahoma, where it is recreating itself into a storm system with high winds (still only tropical storm intensity), and a rotation pattern that looks remarkably like a forming eye.
A friend of mine says he's been watching this sort of thing happen for the past 2 years, but this is the first time he's seen it so far inland. And prior to about 2 years ago, he'd never seen it happen at all.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
OK, so next weekend I'm going to attempt to bring the TV down to the consignment shop.

Always Anti-fascist!
Ah, Jesse, yeah, "A Firing Offense". I really love that one, but it does make me an ass in "Best Buy" Although I don't really think those people are stoned. Maybe they should be. Maybe it would help.
