My coworker just outside of Asheville is hunkered down with no power. I offered her a place to shelter, but the roads were already bad enough she didn't feel safe driving down.

I was just so happy it was raining. We're not in any kind of flood plain, so power outages and tornado warnings are generally the worst we have to manage.

We got more wind and rain near Raleigh than I expected, but it's sunny out now. Western NC is a mess, though.

I had a friend flying from Atlanta to Barcelona yesterday. They got out just ahead of the storm, but the airport was already a mess by late morning due to cancellations.

Start at Season One and watch it grow into its shoes. I love Taskmaster so, so much.

I love that podcast (and I'm not generally a fan of them; they put me to sleep). I love all three comedians. Fortune is from NC, went to college with an old boss of mine and I've seen her live quite a few times. Tig is, well, Tig. And I fairly recently discovered Mae. I've watched everything they've done that I can find, (which led me to Taskmaster, which I'm OBSESSED with) and I can't wait until their new project comes out.

That is WILD. I know this is the most Gen X thing ever, but half the fun was going straight from school, where you'd worn your costume, straight to trick or treating. If you planned it right, you could cover several neighborhoods before people started turning off their lights.

Now, its a modest 'dusk to 8 pm, or about 90 minutes of trick or treating.

Here it's "What day is Trick or Treating?" Every year. And when they're told "October 31" every year, they're upset if its not Friday or Saturday. "We should move Hallowe'en to the last Saturday of October!"

I've been saying that I need to find raves that start at 1400, have a hard stop at 2000 so I can get home, take my night-night pills, and make my 2230 bedtime.

The fuck? Turn them in to the US Dept of Labor. And demand a settlement via a lawyer.
