So, yeah, I skipped.
But! For a good reason, since according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Fred Pete's birthday.
Happy birthday, Fred! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, Fred!
I hardly every drink hot chocolate, but when I do, it's generally Swiss Miss et al.

Glad to see everyone survived last night's storms. I spent 30-40 minutes in the basement and came up to watch another hour of so of lightning to the south and east of me.
I phoned a friend who lives in the Western 'Burbs about an hour after I went back upstairs and she had just come out from under too.
I'm glad that, so far, this morning the storms seem to be further south.

Umm, for the US challenged: where were the storms? And what kind of storms are we talking about?

Illinois - severe thunderstorms with rotation - lots of both rotational winds (tornados) and very strong straight line winds, much lightning too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
During the storm I went to see if people were seeking shelter, but not many people in my building (a six-story apartment) were - I'd say maybe 10%. Then I decided to go back and get my cat, but by then the sirens weren't on anymore, so I stayed in my apartment.
I think most people figure tornadoes hardly ever strike big cities, so they just stayed where they were.
