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.
But I can't afford to go anywhere!
Me either, but I am at the point where I am like, eff it, my mental health is more important than my bank balance.
Also, I just won a $100 gift card to spend in my downtown on Twitter. That will buy a few Xmas gifts!
Heh, awesome.
And yeah, that's what our Santa Fe trip this fall was. So worth it.
Sue, Texas is alway happy to have you.
OMG slowest day EVER!!
Fuck, I want to go somewhere too. But am still rebuilding after the big trip + big tax bill of two years ago.
Also, am I crazy to be unworried about losing power due to weather since none of our power lines are above ground? When we had the blackout last year, it was because of a fire in a transformer box or some shit.

No, I'm with you. Our cable/phone/internet might go out, since those lines connect to a box on the roof, but I think we'll probably still have power.
I love our underground power lines, let me just say. We used to constantly lose power just for high winds, which are more or less constant out here. But here the whole neighborhood is underground and we very rarely lose power, and if we do, just briefly.
When we lived in CA, we had the underground lines and also lived in the same power grid section as a hospital. And we had a local power company. All combined, we very rarely lost power.
I wanna go to Texas.
Of course, now I need to double-check since I've moved, but I'm pretty sure the only power lines above ground are for buses. (We have these old-school electric buses. [link]
I was, because I hear that's the best way to see some of the landscape. I need to research more though.
Lee, I have a good friend who works at one of the big resort/cruise chains up there. If you'e got dates or any kind of questions I'll run them past her. (She might be able to swing some kind of discount too.)
