Good luck, askye! Stay safe.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

~ma and good vibes to Scrappy, meara, and askye.
I skimmed and stop by just to let you fine people know that thanks to you I had my first grilled cheese sandwich yesterday. I search for a place to eat on my way to other activities, saw the sign, thought "oh, Buffistas said it's good", and yes, it was. Good job!

Mmmm...grilled cheese.
Oh, Shir! I have a Hebrew question for you! The other day, my Israeli friend was asking about the word for pinwheel, and I think she said something like "shevchevitz"? Can you confirm or deny? Google translate isn't transliterating for me, and gave me גלגל ×©×™× ×™.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Sure! She probably said "Shavshevet", and this is how it's pronounced: [link]
Shavshevet in Hebrew has other meanings in addition that include things such as weather vanes.
גלגל ×©×™× ×™×™×, alas, is a cogwheel, and explains why we still need human translators.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry, Scrappy, but yes you made the right decision. Too many obstacles to success there. I hope you find a better fit soon.
YIKES, Hurricane Michael looks just awful. I really hope people have evacuated. Are you in Tallahassee now askye? Mostly it looks like there will be a power issue there from downed trees. Sending ~ma for you and yours to be safe and calm.
How's it going, meara? I hope a plan is coming together for the recovery.

Good hurricane vibes, askye.

Thrive to spite them
I was in Tallahassee but we decided to head back to NC. Michael will make landfall this afternoon but Dad suggested it and we decided to go. Matthew and I will stop if we have to. So far no traffic so we are making good time.
I hope this was a good choice

Safe travels, askye

Ann, that's a ferret.
Have a safe trip, askye. Which part of NC are you heading to? The eastern part of the state is under a tropical storm watch and could get a lot of rain on top of what's left from Florence.

I think that was the best choice, askye. No matter what trees will be down and travel difficult after the storm. Safe travels.
