I guess I should go, too.
YES? PLEASE?
Mal: I call you back? Wash: No, Mal. You didn't. Zoe: I take full responsibility, cap.

Safe travels home, Tom.

Given that satellite image, I can say that the wind and spitting rain we are having in Cincinnati right now is actually part of Sandy. Note that Cincinnati is 500+ miles from the Atlantic Ocean, with a mountain range in the way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Go home, Tom!!
Now it's pouring out, and I wish I had ice cream and/or flour and sugar, to make cookies with. I mean, I guess I could do laundry, but that's not nearly as much fun.

Also, I know a guy who's been trying to get to NYC from Seattle since yesterday morning. He spent midnight to 4am in the ATL airport, and was last heard of on the ground in Pittsburgh, hoping to get a Greyhound bus to NYC. Good luck, man.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Also: taping a home's windows with masking or duct tape does nothing to protect them, and plywood doesn't help a whole lot either.
It always feel like that article over-states the frailty of plywood. Yes, the drama of a 2x4 through concrete won't be prevented, but 10,000 damn branches and unsecured lawn furniture that could kick up aren't going to break a window and give you a room full of glass, rain, and wind for heaven knows how long.
Just windy here in upper Manhattan. And the light is weirdly yellow.

Get home safe, Tom.
Glad your power is back, Amy.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Wow.
The eye looks kind of chaotic, which I guess you'd expect with a variety of storm systems hitting at the same time.
Are they forecasting more water than wind? Cuz that's what it looks like. Floodier and floodier.

Here at least, it's flooding out of the ocean, not from rain, that seems to be the concern. Edit: I mean, water-wise.

Because books.
In other news, the Random House/Penguin merger is going ahead, and like everyone else in publishing I'm really hoping the new name of the company is Random Penguin.
Big Six now = Big Five.
