I think the weather in Texas (and the whole center of the country) is pretty sucky. Glad he's in a comfy spot and hope he gets home tomorrow.

For all the snow that got dumped on us on Thursday, today was beautiful sunshine. By 3pm the roads were clear.
My day today included taking CJ to a friends house to go sledding, getting stuck in the snow, watching a baseball game, and basking in the sun while CJ had karate. Odd.

If Matt has to be held up by the weather, I'm glad it's someplace safe and in reasonable comfort.
Goodness, is it midnight already? No wonder I'm falling asleep on the couch.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
My flight today had a connection in Detroit. At the Detroit airport, to go from one terminal to another, you have to walk through this tunnel with glass walls. There's weird synthesizer music playing, and colored lights behind the glass change color in time to the music. Those are the only lights in the tunnel, so the whole tunnel is turning green and blue and red in time to this music. It's so bizarre.
I totally LOVE that tunnel!!! Seriously. With the trippy Tangerine Dream-esque music, and the way it's dark except for the changing colors, and the colors are behind frosted glass -- I want that tunnel in my house.
t edit I know I'm a freak.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Is it anything like the trippy O'Hare light tunnel?

Oh, it's worse. Or better? I think better. I've been through both in the past month.

Red River Valley flood:
My brother Jim lives in Moorhead, MN, the sister city to Fargo.
He has 100 gallons of drinking water in a barrel in his garage and his front stoop sits at 43-1/2 ft above flood stage. The flood waters already have passed the record of 40 ft AFS and are headed for 42-43 ft AFS Saturday or Sunday.
If the sandbags and dikes break, he's going to have a very close encounter.
They already can't use the sewer system in the area.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
eep Daniel! I hope he has an escape plan. Last time I was in a flood the waters kept rising long after the rain stopped.

Yeah, the rain stopped a couple of days ago, this is mostly just seasonal, with some bad timing and extra quick warm-up.
He says there were sandbagging volunteers sleeping in their cars this morning everywhere around him, and his wife and he were making lunch for volunteers as we spoke.
What a mess. Apparently volunteers in the area filled 500,000 sandbags in one day this week.
