Yeah, it's been raining all day here.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Art Crawl!!!
If only some of that couldn't drift southwest down to Texas and douse those fires.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm heading to the Finger Lakes on Thursday--I hope the rain isn't going to screw up the weekend!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I'm mildly surprised that people are still using car alarms.
I don't trust my neighbors. I mostly use the alarm at night so I know if they're messing with my car.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Yeah, we've had bands of thunderstorms rolling over central NC. So far today I've spend 15 minutes in the stairwell, waiting for an all-clear, and received two other "the stairwell may become relevant to you--listen for announcements" emails. This will supposedly go on all day. Unless our power goes out. I'm kind of surprised it hasn't already. Usually a squirrel sneezing on one of the transformers will knock things out for hours.

It's been raining lightly here all day, too. I've been listening to Pandora, and the music is matching the weather pretty well. I think I will go try and make it change to a more peppy run. I need some pep.
ETA: After Hallelujah. I seem to be incapable of skipping it.

My boss just announced that Nashville is the coldest city in the country today (56 degrees). I refrained from telling her how happy this made me!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
It's actually the starter. Fixing now. Missing yet another day of work for car issues. Instead of spending the day unable to eat and panicking, I would like to just wash my face and take a nap. He won't have my car ready until five.
Also, I walked all the way home and then realized I left my house key on the ring, and had to walk back.
I'm invoking the Fucking Perspective Clause.

Invoke away; I'd be pissed, cranky, and stressing over work and money right now in that situation. I hope you're able to... recover well on all fronts. It sucks.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
::validates Allyson's invocation of the FPC::
Great googly moogly, it's amazing how things snowball with a car. My bumper is currently held on with sheetrock anchors (sturdier than the original pegs, I'll bet) and my starter might be going, and despite what TWO Honda dealers have told me, I think my IMA battery is dying but I bet it won't cough up a "deterioration code" until the warranty expires in January. Not to mention that it's still a bit funky from flooding back in June.
Uh, by which I mean to say that I may feel your pain soon and need to invoke the FPC clause myself.
Man, Calli, y'all are getting it worse than we did. There was a tornado warning in a nearby parish, but not Orleans.
