Happy Birthday, sumi!
After about a week of too warm weather and a pretty good rainstorm this morning, a cold front is coming through late this afternoon and tonight-- we're going to have a thirty-five degree swing in temperatures, but by tomorrow, we'll have highs in the low sixties and lows in the mid-forties. And sunny!
Autumn weather! Yay!
Neither soot nor tornado sound good.
We were just out at S's bookstore when the wind blew out a bunch of power transformers and the whole neighborhood went dark. But I'll take it over soot and tornadoes.
There are squeeling pre-school girls chasing each other around the park. A squeel every 2 - 3 steps. Very funny to watch, but I cannot imagine living with that.
it may have info on their website
It's a nice mix of the old and traditional, with some newer and more modern stuff. Neat.
Happy birthday, sumi!

One of my classmates has several of those Despair Ware postcards up by his desk. (He also has a framed South Park picture. The picture of his wife is kind of crumpled and just taped to the wall, but the picture of the South Park kids gets a frame.)
Grammar question: I've been reading a few articles about Rahm Emanuel and his brothers. They have a younger sister, Shoshana, who their parents adopted as a baby when the brothers were teenagers. Several articles referred to her as their "adoptive sister." That just looks really weird to me -- shouldn't it be "adopted sister," if they've got to point out that she's adopted?
Edit: American Heritage Dictionary says usual usage is "adopted child" and "adoptive parents." No ruling on siblings.
