Good news!

I now know where all the water leaks are in my office.

 

 

Careful, @WBahn will decide an off-topic conversation is straying off-topic and close this thread like he did elsewhere last night.

(Ungrateful members topic but talk of "forced gratefulness" and associated forced behaviors was considered too off-topic to survive). I'm not sure REO Speddwagon was singing about hurricane Irma as the title of this thread indicates.

MOD NOTE: Please don't cross-pollute threads. Part of standard netiquette is that what is said in a thread, stays in that thread. Airing grievances about one thread in other threads is trolling.

For the record, the turn of events in the other thread was reported by other members and the decision to close it was not unilateral on my part.

 

There was a sign on the stripper snake bar (a stripper with a real snake) in Key West we hung out at, 'Will the last drunk turn-off the lights'. Looks like the last drunk finally left the town.

 

I just heard a funny oxymoron said by the mayor of Pinellas County:

"The vast minority..."

Trying to visualize..... can't do it....

Stop with the gifs, spook. I don't have enough bandwidth to load the page.

Besides, that was hours ago.

How about you take a short 5 sec clip of what's going on outside your office and post it here as a gif? ... surely you can spare 300kb of data?

I didn't inline the last one. You must have a cache of old data.

It was originally inline and then changed by someone to a link.

No, @cmartinez, no way I can upload video (or even an image). I think all the locals are trying to watch NFL football online or something.

I'm trying to minimize my broadband use, but it seems others don't care as much.

I had to check it, I wasn't disappointed. Maybe not the definition he was implying to...

"An isolated incident or individual that identifies or seems to identify an entire group"

Miami flooding second time in 6-weeks

And an hour ago...

That was me about 30 seconds after the system cached the new image with old data twice when saving. Will minimize from now on.

Understood. I guess we'll all eventually see Irma's winds in Tampa in due time... in the meantime, stay safe. Good luck.

 

We just lost power down here! ... rumor has it that the whole northeastern part of Mexico has lost electricity too!!

I wonder if this is somehow remotely related to the current weather... but I strongly doubt it.

If it turns out to be unrelated, I'll open a new thread on this subject.

Stay on topic in off-topic!

 

Broadband went down the past few hours. I'm back online with 3G. Egress from my east parking lot is blocked by a large tree. West exit still open, but south travel is also blocked. Hopefully, I can exit to the north tomorrow.

Anyone got a chainsaw and wench I can borrow?

Btw, ever asked a wife to chainsaw a tree? That's why wench.

 

Wow, when the door opened she ran dead north. She's sucking ocean energy from both sides of Florida as she heads up. Watch out Orlando per the old EURO (EURO: (ECMWF) European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) model from last week.
