[Historiker]

No, but with sinking american ships! [:'(]

[Chickenboy]

I live just south of Boston and its been quite windy here all morning and raining. My little lampost on my front walk has fallen over. So far the only damage. The store I work in sold out of water yesterday in the panic before the storm.

afternoon tithe [&o][&o][&o]

[alaviner]

A few snow flurries here this morning[:-][:-]

[USSAmerica]

I'm seeing friends post fb pictures of severe flooding along the coasts of Md and NJ. I think it may get much worse before it gets better. [:(]

[Schanilec]

Feel free to head up here. We're a hurricane free zone.[;)]

[Onime No Kyo]

Monday tithe.

So it turns out that the numbskulls at the office gave us the wrong parking spot numbers. We've been parking in this poor lady's spots all weekend.

Guys at the NY HQ of my company are all leaving the office. They say its pretty crazy out there. Best wishes to anyone in the impact area. [X(]

My guess is, that they wanted to ride the storm instead of leaving the ship in the harbour where it might be pushed against the peer and think.

It got caught in transit from the NE area to it's next scheduled appearance in Florida.

Yeah, but it left Connecticut. You'd think they'd hear about the mother of all storms and either: 1. Return to Connecticut STAT or 2. Put in somewhere else on an emergency basis. Anything would be preferable to 3. Running into the teeth of a hurricane in a sailing ship. [&:]

I couldn't agree more. I bet the Coast Guard and insurance company will have a few questions for the Captain. [8|]

Mister Christian had poor timing for a mutiny.

[Chickenboy]

Hey, as an aside to Dixie and Onime: How's your guys' game(s) progressing with Steve? Have you started yet?

Arrgh! Could'a been a Kraken! After all, this ship *did* take part in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise.

If the ship were pushed against one of its peers (the Constitution?) would you think differently about the situation? [:'(]

[Chickenboy]

Hey Sandy,

How'd your women fare this weekend? Heh...heh...heh...

Well, as stupid americans don't like to think, riding a storm seems to be the measure of choice to prevent this! [8D]
