Browncoat Bar & Grill - Hot 'lanta! by Penguin

Bridge collapse in MN. I've made phone calls to relatives and friends. I've driven that bridge countless times when I lived there.

I'm waiting for a reply from HK.

50+ cars in the river. Many crushed cars. At least one school bus was part of this.

You know what the first rule of flyin' is? Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of worlds. And love keeps her in the air when she oughtta fall down… tells ya she's hurtin' 'fore she keels… makes her a home.

I've watched the coverage on the national news stations - coverage that is a rebroadcast of the local Minneapolis news stations. It is a very eerie feeling seeing the news people that I know from when I lived there.

Thanks Fly!

*sigh of relief*

The phones are, naturally, all tied up now, so I wasn't able to get through to her.

*leaves and ice cream sandwich and a cold Dew out for the Kitten, then makes a round of drinks for everyone in the bar*

I hope that no one has any loved ones who are involved in this catastrophe.

Well, in retrospect, my 'cheap' holiday in Turkey ended up costing me 800 pounds which may have got me there and back! Plus it wouldn't have been so

hot!

But my firend might have objected. I have converted her to Firfly but she is not quite as obsessed as me! Give her time, I did manage to drag her to a Buffy convention a few years back!

Hey there Jimi! How's tricks today?

I'm just off to get my car taxed as it is a month overdue. If you don't hear from me soon it's because they arrested me! Isn't it fun to come back from holiday to all this fun stuff (not to mention the washing!)

Huge thanks to Penguin by the way for tidying my avatar for me! You're the best!

Afternoon all,

sat in the office in sandals

as toe is slowly getting bettter but still can't walk on it properly and it hurts like f

in an enclosed shoe. Just so DTH can get a full idea of just how rubbish my body is at the moment, the antibiotics I am on, whilst doing wonders for my toe are doing horrible things to my poor stomach. You should see the pills I am carting around at the moment, a healthy mix of painkillers, antibiotics, stomach pills and indigestion tablets. Gonna open my own pharmacy.

How's everyone else doing?

Hello everyone.

Sad stuff about the bridge, glad to hear HK is ok.

We have a bridge here that just opened, and I will not travel over it. It's got some really bad vibes, like five or six people died while building it, and there's already been one accident involving a semi.

Nope, went back and looked for this mythical rudeness but couldn't find it! I am deeply dubious that you are even capable of being rude!

Still stressed about the car. I have to write a letter to the head office apologising profusely and pay a lot of money apparently (but hopefully not the £1000 they could fine me

)

Sorry your toe is still so sore Gee. If ever you need a cheauffeur it seems I am close enough to help out (it was the mention of Leicester that reminded me I could be of some use to you!) Plus I'm always looking for someone to go to see Sci-Fi films with etc! Next time you're at a loose end drop me a line!

Thanks for the NinjaKittyGram, FlyVote. It's good to know HK is OK. I got back today safe and sound from my trip to visit my Jing Chai, Magda, in Melbourne. We had a WONDERFUL time.

Emma, you might think about going to Australia for a holiday next year. It was great to enjoy their winter weather. Now I'm back in the HOT Arizona heat. Although, it will get me ready for "Hot 'lanta" during D*C.

Gee, I know what you mean, I take my shoes off here in the office every chance I get. It is just so relaxing.
