I'm assuming the object is to take them out past the range of the storm, but still, just the thought is nerve-wracking.

Away from the docks, too.

My friend Rich?!

My friend Rich. I've had a friend Rich since before you were born, and I think your friend Rich would be...startled, to say the least at such behaviour.

I've been on cruise ships during severe storms and hurricane season. They are actually a grat place to be since they can steer around the storms. The storms typically aren't traveling fast enough to outrun the ships.

That's good, thanks for the reassurance!

Kat, you can get a "wellness" visit for Grace's AG doll for $24 plus shipping. They'll clean her up, brush her hair, etc.

We were lucky and won this doll in a raffle, so I didn't have to pay an exorbitant amount for the doll or accessories. And I have a policy that dolls are for playing--so she doesn't have to treat her like an heirloom. They are good quality dolls and can take a lot of play.

I love bananas and wish I had one right now.

So I bopped up to the CIO and got the exemption permission to get my calendar on my tablet. I hope I don't regret this.

On the way to the Y this morning, there were signs with arrows that said SET. I kept thinking, "What does SET stand for?" We get to the Y, and the windows to the pool were covered with black plastic. The main door had a sign that said "Crew not allowed in this area."

They're filming The Vampire Diaries there. If I were a swimmer, I'd be pissed, but I'm just hoping that the perpetually strapped Y got a chunk of cash for it.

No kidding! It also has a cooled glove box for beverages or sandwiches. I kid you not.

I want a cooled glove box! I'm actually still bitter over a decade later because when we were leaving for Arizona, we hit the big Coleman outlet warehouse sale (based out of Wichita) and there was one of those awesome cooler things you plug into the cigarette lighter. It was super cheap and would have fit between the captain's chairs in the van. But our partner at the time talked us out of it. He quit the next year, moved away, got married, moved back, had a kid, and is moving away again. In all that time, did I ever just go buy the damn thing myself? No, no I did not. I just bitch about it.

But seriously, yo, I'm on the road a lot. I spend a damn lot of money at gas stations and pretty much these days all I'm buying? Is the cold. I so should buy a cooler.

I just googled pineapple plant. That is the craziest fucking thing I've ever seen.

I have reached the part in exercise why I don't exercise. The muscle soreness blazes itself directly to my migraine. The best way out is through, but it's also the ouchy way out. Maybe I will buy Aleve at lunch.

Having had banana and pineapple plants in my backyard growing up, I don't know what you people are being weird about.
