"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

So I know during emergencies phone lines get clogged, but sometimes texts get through since there's so much less data. I wondered what our Easterners would think of the idea of a text tree, where a message could be got through and down the chain until it hit somebody with internet service, so we could know how things were going if internet gets knocked out but phone is still up.

Actually, I want us all to learn morse code and become ham radio operators, but I don't know if even that will do it in a frankenstorm. Anyway, stay safe, peoples, we'll be thinking of you even if you can't get to us.

We're getting just a touch here in central NC.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Public schools here are closed today because of the storm, but the university is open.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

The stock market is closed today. Wow.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

...and now it is time for Aims to sing San Francisco songs.

Yep. I will be purchasing flowers for my hair today.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Stay safe, everyone.

Old Russian saying, I learned from a Robin Williams movie: "Expect the worst, hope for the best."

Yep, that sounds like just about the right attitude to adopt going into a Robin Williams movie.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm getting all my weather and sports info from here and Facebook.

It's blustering here and the light is yellowish. I suppose i'm going to have to go check the Actual News, soon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Actually, I want us all to learn morse code and become ham radio operators

You don't even need Morse code to get the license anymore! Not that I have one.

Be safe, mid-Atlantic people!!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm at work now. There's a surprising number of people here.
