DR JohnG, it looks as though all hell will be breaking out in Texas with the hurricane, so be careful on your drive.

~~~SUPER DITTO!!~~~

First post after seeing "Wonder Woman" at the drive-in!

You should take along an FM radio and some headphones, then you could listen to the movie at the volume level you want.

I actually did that!  At lunch yesterday, I went to Fred Meyer and bought little radio that included headphones.  There was a little bit of hiss throughout tye movie, but I was able to control the volume and it didn't adversely affect my niece.

Can you set the radio to the movie channel or plug it into something?

At this drive-in, they broadcast the soundtrack over an AM radio station.  As far as I know, there isn't anything that you could otherwise just plug your own speaker into.

The reports I'm getting from San Antonio are not great. Grocery stores are running out of food (yes, even canned sauerkraut, though I think the Doritos went first).

Can you buy what you need now and drive it home with you?

My house is overloaded. Got about 15 different types of gin, 22-15 types of tequila, bourbons, scotches. Oh, and water--as a mixer, of course. Plus canned goods galore.

You obviously have your priorities in order.

Laundry is finished, which I like, so my weekend is wide open.

A new concept to me for a drive-in.  Then your niece had her own radio and headset?

DR Jrand, or anyone, how do you change the color of a word on facebook, such as writing congratulations and making it orange?

No.  She used the car radio using only the speakers in the back of the car.  With her hyperacusis, she can't use headphones at all.

I like keeping the house ready for when I return.

Harvey is up to 3 and gaining. Very scary. Friends from the coast have evacuated.

[FJL]

More and more vibes to John G!!!

I'll be very curious to see what this storm brings.  Not trying to make light of it, but every time we hear these warnings, in the end, at least the ones I've read about in the past two years, don't hit or don't hit strongly and then everyone forgets all about it.  What they do with the year's worth of supplies they bought is anyone's guess.  And topping off their cars?  I remember that from the gas shortage days. 

[bk]

But keep us all posted as to developments as some of us don't look at or read the news.

Meeting isn't happening, so I had some chicken tenders and a small Caesar.

Hello, everyone.

[Jeanne]

Good news about DF Kristi!

Vibes for a speedy recovery.

[Jeanne]

Fred, I really enjoyed your I WILL SURVIVE parody.

[Jeanne]

MEGA travel vibes to John G. I, too, wish you could reschedule your trip a few days.

[Jeanne]

~~~No Getting Killed by Eddie Murphy Vibes for Elmore!!~~~

Well said. And MEGA DITTO!

Why am I surprised by this? 

Though the canned goods do surprise me. Here I imagined ALL of John G's meals were gourmet and prepared from scratch.

My take on the media's coverage of the weather is this:
The meteorologists KNOW how destructive these storms can be and also know how blasé some people are about it, so they really emphasize it. Big storms also happen to be good for business, which is not lost, I'm sure, on station management. Weather forecasting is tremendously tricky, with many variables. Even with supercomputers it's impossible to be exact. No one really knows exactly how things will play out.

[Jeanne]

Have some work to do yet.

TTFN.

Thanks for explaining   I have had no little sleep lately my brain is working in slow speed.

[Jrand73]

DR JANE not sure how to do the color change manually.....sometimes lately certain words just POST in color.....another BookFace improvement.

[Jrand73]

DR DRUXY I felt the same way about THE DESERT SONG last night.....but it was interesting to see the familiar sets in color.....the leading lady was very meh, and the dance numbers were 100% weird.....  When she was on television Faye Emerson seemed very TALL, but last night she looked very petite.....

[FJL]

Fred, I really enjoyed your I WILL SURVIVE parody.

Thanks so much, Jeanne!

Just spent the entire afternoon writing the commentary, but it's done.  Probably lots to futz and finesse, but at least it's done and one less thing to worry about.

[George]

Uh oh...Hurricane Harvey Becomes Category 4!
