My neighbor has called three times to rant about the people renting next door to her. This time, they decided having a large fire of sticks and branches in a fairly narrow space between their house and her wooden privacy fence. The county allows barbecue grills and fire pits that meet specific specifications. It doesn't allow random fires. Also, it's very warm and humid out there, so a fire would only be a good idea if you wanted to replicate hell. The fire department came, put out the fire and explained the rules to them. Yes, they're very annoying and often act like visiting aliens. However, neighbor, an hour of your ranting about them is very annoying too.
Sometimes a thing gets broke, can't be fixed.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Jesse, I'm just so sorry. I don't have people in the area, but it sounds like folks here and on fb have you covered. All possible best wishes that he's found soon and safe.
Consuela, I'm sorry about the fire, but I cheer and applaud your neighbors.
Ginger, your ranty neighbor needs a good spraying down with the garden hose.

The air is like soup here, and there are tornado warnings all over the region.
I was really hoping for some good news about Jesse's dad. It will be 24 hours gone soon, which is way too long.

We just had a crazy 2 minute, zero visibility hail storm. Loud as all crap and damn! Look outside now and there is no sign of it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Adding my wishes that your dad is found safe and sound, and soon, Jesse.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just had someone tell me a) they'd read about this on LJ already and b) they were out and keeping an eye out.
God bless the internet.

Feeling helpless to new levels. I can't even reach FB to boost the signal. I do feel as if I should reach out to Dennis Lehane since 1) he right mysteries and so surely knows people who know people who could find a person. and 2) he had a massive search going on for his dog a while back so his signal boost would be more like a BOOST.

I don't think so. There is a Finding Tessa facebook page, but I can't get there from work.

I shared the post about Jesse's dad. I know a few non-b.org people near Boston, too, so I'm hoping they'll keep an eye out.
