A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ugh, Toddson, what a mess!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

So last night I had one friend have a tornado land in her neighborhood

Me too - was your friend in Beacon?

Half the school districts north of me are closed today because they don't have power. We got INCREDIBLY lucky to only have a few downed branches.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Me too - was your friend in Beacon?

About 16 miles from there, according to maps.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Between Trump's financial disclosure and Ronan Farrow's new New Yorker article, a lot of people are looking at Trump's money today.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I know it's important for Mueller to have an airtight case, but I still wish he would pick up the pace.

brillig

I'm impressed at Mueller's steadfastness in the face of all the pressure and attention. I bet people in his office are mainlining antacids.

edit: Oh, and playing the game of "Who is going to play me in the inevitable movie".

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Rain today, rain tomorrow, rain Friday.

Anybody know where I can get an ark?(I'm not building one myself)

Our wings are not tired.

Although it has rained every day for the past few I am still in celebratory mode. After the winter drought months we tend to get excited when it rains again. As I walked the dog in the rain I did express some gratitude that it was warm rain.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Me too - was your friend in Beacon?

Lake Carmel. Putnam County, I think?

The big fir tree in her front yard was shredded and there's some minor roof damage. Her neighbors on either side got hit worse.

Frankly, she couldn't take another house disaster as she had her pipes freeze up over xmas while her family was in Florida. It wasn't a Full Copper Repipe but it was really bad.

(Plus both her and her husband's cars were trashed in separate incidents this year.)
