I'm really tired of listening to other people talk about the weather.

Earthquakes, hurricanes, and tropical storms, oh my!

So my city is under a tropical storm warning today. This is not what I want to talk about, because I'm seriously tired of hearing about it and I'm sure you all are, too. But I did want to share this:

Today I went out for lunch and then followed that two-hour outing up with a trip to the Target, the comic book store, a drug store, and a liquor store. The restaurant where I ate lunch? Deserted, excepting the employees, me and my companion, and one other family. The Target? Nearly deserted. The comic book and drug store? The employee(s) (one in the comic book store, two in the drug store) and I were it. The liquor store? PACKED. It was like the entire city had descended upon the store all at once.

So it's at least good to know that we have our priorities straight, right? Right.

Yep. We have a flash flood warning (as of about five minutes ago), but I think the only people in the city who need to worry about it are the ones down by the waterfront... who mostly all live in highrises, so it shouldn't be a huge deal. I remain totally unconcerned and 100% exasperated with all the people nearby who are Freaking the Fuck Out over it.
