This is so selfish, but I'm glad my eldest aunt & uncle don't live in Houston anymore. OTOH, they live in wildfire hill country & a few years back had to evacuate to Austin, but property survived. But this time, I'm glad they aren't there.
We gotta go to the crappy town where I'm the hero!

My gosh the Internet is wonderful. I'm watching Jeeves & Wooster for the umpteenth time, and I was trying to puzzle out the floorplan of his apartment. I thought "Maybe there's someone on the Net who was daft enough in the right way who's figured out the floorplan." And lo and behold, there is! And there were comments, which even addressed and answered the question of where Jeeves' room is! Truly, we live in a golden age.

Well, shit, dana, I'm really sorry.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
What, no link, Connie?
Job~ma for Dana's DH and tommyrot.
sarameg, I don't think it is selfishness to be relieved when loved ones are safe from a particular peril. It's not like we are glad other people are suffering or that we wished suffering on others.

Connie, that was the way I felt when I realized I could watch videos of people ringing bells like they do in The Nine Taylors. Kent Treble Bob Major is an actual thing!
So, Mark Zuckerburg has named his new daughter August? After ... the month she was born in? I mean, it is a name, but it looks like both his daughters have boys' names (the older one is Max), which I find somehow discouraging in respect to women in Silicon Valley. (As someone on twitter notes, there are now more women in his immediate family than on Facebook's board of directors.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh snap.
I have to say, I have a cousin named June who was NOT born in June, so I give them credit for that, at least?
My internet thing this morning is finding a song that's been in my head for days even though I didn't know the title, artist, or many of the lyrics. ("Fire and Desire," Rick James and Teena Marie, btw.)

Adorbs! Cute car too.

Sorry about the layoff, Dana, that really sucks.
Congrats on the car, msbelle! My parents had that generation Prius and it was really nice.

I started the day getting stuck in traffic and then having to pull over and puke when I got to open highway. On the plus side my day is only likely to get better.
