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.

There are about 600 students stuck at Marietta High School. The culinary arts students fed them, and now they're about to watch The Avengers in the auditorium.

One friend has now been on the road for 8 hours and has been a mile and a half from home for the last 3.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Good grief, that's all scary. People under Leon, be safe and warm!

My brother has 'acquired' scrubs, stretchers and booze to camp out in the office tonight. I'm telling you, a medical hub is where to get stuck.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

If I may bring up one more misused word...

Seen elsewhere, a reference to "the stigmata of being a female [fill-in-the-noun]". STIGMATA. Not a trace of irony.

Check your hands, ladies.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There's a joke about bleeding in there....

Because books.

So that's what that is!

The scrubs and the stretchers I get, I'm kinda loving that there's booze to be had in a hospital.

I'm kinda loving that there's booze to be had in a hospital.

Well, he's on the research oncology side of UAB's freaking multi-facility med complex sprawling across downtown. But he is friends with residents (who are also stuck) over on the clinical/hospital side, where I'm pretty sure they're more likely to have that stashed, given their hours, than the salaried researchers with saner hours are.

Cool fact: When there are human samples to be directed to research using the lab he runs, he usually gets to scrub in to surgery collect the specimens. Not operate, just fetch. But chain of evidence stuff.
