My friend has done road trips in her Fit with two adults, at least one baby, and two greyhounds. It really is bigger on the inside.
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Apparently there are enough people planning to drive through the floods to get to the Penn State game tomorrow that the newspapers are recommending which routes will most likely not be under water. [link]
(And I'm not sure where they're planning to go once they get here, since 2,500 football parking spaces are currently flooded.)

The next Republican debate would be just like Thunderdome! Two fungus-puppets enter! One fungus-puppet leaves!
Does one have to leave? Can they both not get out?

I'm pretty sure that if a mind-controlling fungus got ahold of Michele Bachman, it would starve to death.

Ann, that's a ferret.

You mean she isn't already a mind-controlling fungus?
In other news, several major roads in our area were closed last night because of the floods. Major like U.S. 50 and U.S. 29. The weather radio was blaring all night with flood warnings in the DC area. (BTW, the Federal government today is on Unscheduled Leave. I'm at work, but a lot of people aren't.)

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
The crest level has been revised down to 26.5 feet. Water will still be in the main part of the restaurant but hopefully it won't be enough to reach the really expensive industrial kitchen equipment.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm thinking of stopping by the pharmacy and buying a sling on the way into work. That thing (or, you know, regular insomnia) kept me up way too long. I'm incredibly grumpy and don't want to go in.

So far we've had an earthquake, hurricane, and floods ... I think the only consolation is that it's too wet for a major fire.
