Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

You know Arizona has been under terrorist attacks, if you will,

What if I won't?

Good grief. I don't know if I want to turn on the news or not. I lived in Nashville for a long time.

Always Anti-fascist!

Why must able-bodied people say it that way? As if not jumping around for six weeks tests the limits of human tolerance or something? Just like the guy on online dating who compared my disability to his back injury. Not unless people pointed when you got it, no. Not unless it cost you jobs or friends or people made you sit around while they talked smack about those *other* no-good people with back injuries who were just faking to game the system...oh, I didn't mean *you*, my god, don't be so sensitive. AZ; Suddenly, that cloning law makes more sense...they know what can happen. They already made a governor out of a horse's ass.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Has anyone heard from Kate P? I hope she's not having to deal with flooding. Nashville is really a mess.

I'm OK, although currently without power at home. Our house is in a higher part of town, so we seem to have avoided water damage. The footage of the flooding is really scary, but none of the worst of it is very close to us. My office is open today. (Yay?)

My mother got power around 1 a.m., so I didn't have to figure out how to start a tweet war this morning.

I'm glad to hear it! If you ever need or want someone local to look in on her, I'm more than happy to help out.

edit: I also heard from tiggy on Facebook, and she's OK too.

Picture from this morning at the Opryland:

That is scary, because if my memory is correct the floor of the Cascades is set somewhat higher than that of the adjoining arboretum and the lobby that opens onto both. Their lower level hallways and rooms must have been completely submerged.

“Not dead yet!”

They're saying over six feet of water in the lobby, Matt.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

ugh, one of my adoption lists is exploding

Yipes msbelle, how distressing. I can't really imagine how to start coping with a revelation like that.

Compassionately intolerant

Good to hear you are well, if at work, Kate.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Oh msbelle, so horrible, so sad. All the chili lime peanuts in the world for you.

So, I'm home sick today, and watching Quincy, ME. I'm amused that today's storyline is an anthrax issue. I hadn't realized that the idea was so old.
