There are "zones" and it depends where you live. It's a given if you live east of the Intercoastal it's a given. But generally, if you are east of the 1-95. You might also have to leave. But its the direction of how the storm will travel

And let's not forget about the people of Mexico.
I spent over an hour today wrestling with the medical maze, i.e., the UCLA medical bureaucracy. I think all is well; I think it was a false alarm. I changed my primary care physician this morning and was told that I may be charged for my visit with my new PCP last Tuesday, because he wasn't officially my PCP then. UCLA says he was, my insurance says no. None of this garbage has anything to do with actual medicine--it's all bureaucratic BS. Arrrggghh! Mercury retrograde may be officially over, but this sounds very Mercury retrogradish to me.

..it is hard to do....and not to do....
I went with my oldest brother Mike this afternoon to a viewing for the wife of our cousin - she passed away on Monday..... Not a lot of folks, but a nice room full..... Sue was a nice lady who raised two good kids, and then stepped in and did a lot to raise several of her grandchildren as well....
Sue and her fiance were driving home from Chicago in the rain back in the mid-1960's, her fiance lost control of the car......he was killed and she lost the sight in one eye.A couple of years later, she met my cousin Will, and soon after they were married. They were also involved in a car accident.....in Will's Corvair....they both narrowly escaped death....
The Vixter and her BFdecided to vacate their apartment and go to a friend's home . There will be six of them there and they will be able to pool resources should the need arise

Now, of course, I don't remember a single thing about it. I read the Pigman in junior high. It was about two teenagers , a boy and girl, who befriend an elderly man name Mr Pignati who has a house full of pis (not real ones)

Went through more boxes - tossed a lot of VHS and Beta crap, found my old Beta machine (worth anything?) and unfortunately found a ton of my old newspaper movie sections - unfortunate because I then spent three hours looking through them again. Now I must get ready for the opening night.

Has anyone here had Snickers Caramel Apple Salad? It sounds wonderful. And horrible. At the same time.

We're almost done with tonight's performance of Silent Sky. It was almost a full house! There were probably only five seats available! And they're really loving it!
