Here's hoping the power holds up through the South tonight.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

The concertmaster of the Milwaukee Symphony was tased last night leaving a concert to steal his Stradivarius violin.
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.

Woohoo! A hotel room opened up (I'm guessing a corporate booking released) and PJ's in it. Tyler has a fever, uhg.

Meanwhile, streets and sidewalks here are totally white with salt.

Most of our snow melted today. But there is a huge ice slick that is covering one end of the parking lot. I didn't fall but I came close a couple of times. I'm surprised I didn't bust something in my effort to stay upright.
