No thunderstorm here.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't think we got your storm yesterday, so it all works out. The air does feel cooler, I think. (The laptop, OTOH, does not.)

Man, Pico seemed better Friday and yesterday, now he's hiding behind the futon in the basement and refusing to eat again. I guess we're going back to the vet.
Also, I would like someone come to my house and do my laundry.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh. We have a seiche warning in effect. I had to read the article to find out what that is....
The National Weather Service on Sunday afternoon warned people to evacuate docks, piers and break walls along the Lake Michigan shore in Cook County, saying dangerous flooding could be imminent.
The thunderstorm that moved through the Chicago area Sunday afternoon pushed Lake Michigan water ahead of it so that lake levels dropped by about 2 feet, triggering a warning from the National Weather Service for people along the lake shore to beware of when that water comes sloshing back—an effect called a "seiche."
"It's kind of like when you slosh water in a bathtub," said weather service meteorologist Mark Ratzer.
The seiche warning remains in effect along the Cook County shore until 9 p.m.
