We need to send a storm hunter aircraft in to drop a case of wine to amused.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

How the fuck do they expect people to sit about doing nothing without wine?

Fucking theocratic barbarians. :nono:

It's even worse - cowards! They didn't open because of this little storm we're having.

Continuing rain here, and the wind has picked up quite a lot today. Tonight is when we'll get the real stuff. Work and school are cancelled again tomorrow. Based on the flooding we had last fall, my wife thinks the county schools will be out all week. Flooding from rain runoff is the biggest problem we're likely to see in southern Maryland, not counting the dilemma of keeping three young kids busy while we're cooped up indoors.

Up north is where the real problems are - the storm surge areas. NYC, New Jersey and Long Island are in trouble. Interestingly, the Connecticut coast -on the north side of Long Island Sound- may see an even higher storm surge than the ocean-facing coasts to the south. As much as 11 feet in places. I'm looking forward to hearing from Hades and anyone else up that way.

I agree. The best that can be said for that dreck is: "Crude, but effective"
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

“I wish no harm to any human being, but I, as one man, am going to exercise my freedom of speech. No human being on the face of the earth, no government is going to take from me my right to speak, my right to protest against wrong, my right to do everything that is for the benefit of mankind. I am not here, then, as the accused; I am here as the accuser of capitalism dripping with blood from head to foot.”

John Maclean (Scottish socialist) speech from the Dock 1918.
