So, it there are three choices you change if there are only two you stay with what you've got?

Is that right?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I always said that if I were on Deal or No Deal, the first offer I got for 6 figures, I would be out of there without a second thought.

I would not be a fun contestant. "peace out Howie!"

They clearly prescreen for risk takers.

Sorry to hear about the fires. Can you get away if it gets too hard on your lungs?

Thanks, Typo Boy. I have tomorrow off, so I could drive elsewhere after work if I need to. The winds are forecast to change tonight, though, and the smoke should clear up in my area then.

I don't know that the odds change. The stakes change.

I doubt that Atlanta is going to be a hotbed of 9/11 commemoration.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Tonight's dinner is already made: Homemade beef stew.

1/2 purple onion, sweated in 2 T of butter. Then added 1lb of stew meat, floured. Browned that. Added 1/2 cup of red wine. Then added 16 oz of beef stock, coarse sea salt and coarsely group black pepper. Added a bag of frozen, sliced carrots and let simmer while I chopped up 4 medium, scrubbed potatoes. Added them to the pot and left to simmer.

There are currently three fires burning in NC, all near the coast.

Okay, that makes more sense. Although I swear one article made it sound like the actual fire was in Cary.

Really dark and bitter rather than hoppy or thin. Put it this way. The ideal beer for Welsh Rabbit is stale beer. But if you don't have beer around the house long enough to go stale then poor quality (in the sense of dark & bitter and not in a good way) is a really good second best.

I'm making beef burgundy tonight. Can't wait to finally use my new dutch oven for the first time!

As far as I know there are no major fires in Cary. Just a whole lotta smoke. There's more info here: [link]

Man, the purple area (aka, hazardous air quality?) is right where we're headed. I occasionally worry about hurricanes on vacation, but never thought to worry about wildfires.
