Thanks, msbelle. That's a lovely thing to read.
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

Just watched the Bocelli concert from yesterday for a break from the news. That was quite divine!
The empty streets in cities around the world is a very spooky thing. DH picks my son up from work at 11 PM, which is normally a time of packed night spots in our main street area. Now he is able to drive down Atlantic Ave without any traffic at all.

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
We've got that same crazy wind. Some limbs hit the roof over my bed and that was pretty exciting. There's a tiny leak in the attic so it looks like we've cracked a tile.
At the moment I am very happy to be a renter.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
NJ is under a tornado watch right now.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Sheesh. She's taking idle to some new unprecedented level.
My kids (well, Owen) have gone feral. Seeing how they were both teenagers, we allowed them to set their own schedules on e-schooling. Liv rose to the challenge. Owen, not so much. I got an email with a list of missing assignments as long as my arm. I suspect he has mild ADD, and we were talking about getting him assessed pre-quarantine. Now we have to institute some stronger scheduling. Which sucks because he is just like me and I would be doing the same damn thing if I were in high school right now.
UGH. Kids. Why they gotta be like us?
Also we got snow last night. Two inches of wet, heavy shit which I am procrastinating shoveling off of our front walk.

I sent Matt a note asking him to check in after the weather awfulness near him this past weekend.
I have to say our weather is pretty awesome right now. Getting some much needed rain. A bit on the hot side (90ish), but the breezes are refreshing.

Hey gang, all clear here! We had some scary strong winds last night, but when I checked the local news there weren't any weather alerts (just pandemic coverage) so I figured it was no big deal. It didn't occur to me that the storms might have had any tornado activity given that our local weather bureau's approach is usually that of Chicken Little.
It appears that Mississippi is where the real damage occurred.

We heard Saturday that Jonesboro had tornadoes, but you know the not local reports are often hard to interpret. Good to hear you are okay!

Thrive to spite them
There was a lot of wind and torando warnings here. I think one touched down north of Matthew's sister. Mom lost power for awhile but she is ok and we are ok.
