My boss's daughter is in Manhattan (at NYU). She was in an area where they didn't think they'd have to evacuate, but now she does. My boss is trying to read a slow-loading web-page to find where she's supposed to evacuate to.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Thanks guys. I do not like pilot lights. I especially do not like them in my living room, which is were the furnace is.
I feel bad, because I am hoping (a little bit) for some downed trees across the road from the huge cemetary by my house, this making it hard for me to get to work tomorrow. I would love another day off, and my uni does not close. Since we are a hospital, everyone is supposed to report in any weather, and if there are a lot of people out, they will put you to work doing other things (people in my position were delivering meals and cleaning during the 1991 ice storm because there was a shortage of those workers)

Thanks, but my boss managed to figure out where the shelter was. And then his daughter decided to stay where she is. (She's on he fourth floor.)

I just turned on the heat. I could deal, but eh, why not?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Lights and Internet working here. But it's truly ugly out there.

Of course, at my normal setting, it came on for 5 minutes and went off.
OK, going to go a few doors down and drink. And possibly sacrifice things so that our power stays on through the whole storm.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
He says it looks pretty boring out from high up in his hotel room.
I hope you told him that the best possible outcome is for it to remain so.
