This Time For Sure... Presto

Revised doomsday: Oct. 21. Ah, well -- it's the first day of OVFF, so I'll be with many of the people I love best.

What's your week looking like? I have to finish at least one and possibly three commission jobs, burn some CDs for World Steam Expo, and launder the bedclothes/turn the mattress.

And, Of Course, I Must Be Polite So I Don't Offend Delicate Republican Sensibilities

So I shall merely direct you to this story, by way of dKos, in which Kansas GOP state Representative Pete DeGraaf equates getting pregnant by rape with getting a flat tire.

Yes, I'm serious.

Have at.

HICA

Here it comes again: more really nasty weather in the southern Midwest. Starting with Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, heading east to Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Illinois, etc.

And there are severe thunderstorm watches in the east, the Virginias and NC particularly.

If you're in the way, be watchful, and be ready to hunker down, and then let us know you're all right after it's past.
