Captain was looking for a pilot. I found a husband. Seemed to work out.

Blargh! I think that is the noise I am making all the time at this point. Why is being a grown up so hard?

PJ and the boys are stuck in a hotel lobby halfway home. All rooms are booked, so I guess they are sleeping there. The rest of their road home is closed and probably will be until it can get sanded or something- there's no alternate, and this is B'ham; it's hilly. Josh is still downtown.

Here's hoping the power holds up through the South tonight.

Oh, for crap's sake. That's one instrument that will be just a little difficult to fence. Stupid thieves.

Birmingham metro area is a mess. Schools are keeping kids who can't be picked up and taking in people seeking shelter. Drivers are abandoning cars on the interstate to seek shelter (and if you have any idea how sprawling the area is, they're in for a hike in a LOT of places) and yeah, it is basically just shut down.

I'm glad PJ made it to where they did- besides the hotel, it's a Target mall, Lowes, etc. They aren't stranded in a residential suburb. Josh is fine, he's downtown, right in the heart of the medical district. Childrens, the VA Hospital, UAB... he's in the best place to be stranded. Things will be open.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That all sounds horrific.

Just catching up - Sarameg, I'm glad your people are sheltered and safe.
