Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This was my sister's first hurricane, and they spent hours getting ready for it. Her report was that rain might have leaked in under one patio door, and that she broke a mask denuding the verandah.
As for the outside, one banana plant has gone to a better place, and an avocado tree has lost limbs. Otherwise they (and the friends and family she knows about) are doing okay.
I was frankly surprised to get through when I called, but she sounded like she relished the distraction--they have no power, so she was curled up around a transistor radio listening people call in so that their Auntie Betty would know they'd gone up to town.

So good to hear, ita! Also, astonished that this is your sis's first hurricane. She musta been abroad quite a lot?

Glad to hear things are relatively ok.
When Mr. Jane told me about where it was hitting, with relief (cause we were keeping an eye on NO), and I freaked a bit, he couldn't understand why, then went, "Oh! A buffista?" He keeps forgetting that in addition to the people I've met, I have other friends from all over the place.

The status is NOT quo.
Glad your family is okay, ita.

We both were. She's only been back full time for a couple years.

Heh. Has he read Vampire People?
I'll make sure to tell my family of the well wishes--they are very appreciated.

He read the essay about Nilly, and then whined at me for making him cry.
My sister gets the book tomorrow. I'm very excited.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm glad to hear everyone is okay, ita.
