At least it'll be comfortable for the folks still without power.

I don't know.  

How will they stay warm?  

 

Honestly, our heat is set to com on at 68 only because I'm too cheap to turn it on when it gets down to 70.

No joke.

If anything, these hurricanes have proven the government is even more incompetent than ever. Helene wasn't supposed to be nearly as big a deal as she was and Milton was supposed to bring death to Florida. Sounds about like the current admin - hyping up lots of nothing burgers and dropping the ball on things that actually matter. Not much has changed since I frequented this site in years past. 

What has changed is the wait time for suppressors. One week? NICE!!! Crazy how it used to take a whole year and now they're like, "Whatevs. YOU get a stamp! YOU get a stamp! ALL OF YOU GET STAMPS!!!" We still need to end the fedgov. 

I'm up in Vermont right now visiting my girlfriend. Got divorced from the original Russian in 2016, married one of her Russian friends a year later, and she & I divorced in 2023. I've been "dating local" since then. Doesn't matter where they're from. They're all crazy! 

It's 42F and rainy here. Enjoy that Florida sun!

Ensure your beneficiary makes and brings with them to the States a copy of the DS-3025 (vaccination form)

If the government is going to force me to exercise my "right" to health care, then they better start requiring people to exercise their Right to Bear Arms. - "Where's my public option rifle?"

The scariest term in the English language - I am from the Government and am here to help you.

Feel-Good Friday:  The Resurrection of Western North Carolina Is an Example of America at Its Finest

 

After the late September devastation in Western North Carolina from Hurricane Helene and the heroic rescue and recovery efforts, the region continues to be given a shot in the arm, thanks to Americans locally and from across the country stepping up.  This past month has seen the creative and innovative ways they have helped to bring this area and its people back to life.  [...]

FEMA says employee fired for telling aid workers to avoid homes with Trump signs

 

An employee with the Federal Emergency Management Agency instructed a disaster relief team to avoid houses displaying signs supporting President-elect Donald Trump's campaign, the agency's administrator said Saturday.


The employee, who was not named, was fired from her position, Administrator Deanne Criswell said in a post to social media on Saturday, calling it a violation of FEMA principles, which say workers should help people no matter their political affiliation.  [...]
