The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Local city hall has declared a kibosh not just on fireworks, but on tiki torches and barbecues and anything else with an open flame. Things are super, super crispy here, and I already know of at least one brushfire in the area.

I'm hiding from the outside again today, as we merrily set a record high for the day. I'm thinking of becoming a creature of the night.

It's now sunny here in DeKalb.
Looking at the radar, the main part of the cell has already passed. I think I just caught the northern edge of it. The Trib is reporting 150,000 with no power. Where I am I think it just blew all the construction dust into the lake.
