You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

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

Although I swear one article made it sound like the actual fire was in Cary.

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.

I know this house is crazy falling down, but does it come with a little baby house? Or possibly 2?

I feel like every Australian holiday that popped up while I was on my last ship was a MUCH bigger deal because if we didn't go all out, the Aussies freaked out that the American ship wasn't catering to its passengers enough.

I know that's true, because an English friend (who is married to an American) was just bitching on his travelog about how there was a special "Dutch pancake" breakfast for the Americans on their ship. He was all "why just the Americans? Why not the 'non Dutch' people?"

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I just blocked off my vacation time at work. Three weeks, August 29-Sept 18. Now I need to figure out where to go.

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

I don't understand, Vortex. Surely anyone could order the Dutch breakfast, right? I must be missing something.

Burrell, glad I'm not the only one. ETA between that and Gar's definition of bad beer I feel like I'm losing my ability to comprehend language.

It looks like two baby houses. That may be where the "multifamily" comes in. I have no idea what's happening under that brown siding.

Kind of terrifying thing that happened near my house today:
