I are a criminal
You may recollect me bitching and moaning about one of my main Gmail accounts running out of storage. Google keeps sending me nastygrams about it. I deleted and deleted and it didn’t seem to make a substantial difference. Tonight I discovered one video that was using up ten of my fifteen gigs.
It was a lecture by my boss. Saved to my hard drive.
I have now sent two different addresses to the chicken registry six different times and still haven’t got the confirmation email I need to start the registration process. That means as of today, me and my flock are officially outlaws. The speculation is that thousands of people are registering their supermarket chickens and it knocked the website out.
Very funny guys, but I’ll be pissed if I go to jail for poultry crime.
I don’t have any way to prove I tried to register. I’d ask you all to be my witnesses, but I’d have to send authorities to my blog. I don’t think that’s a very good idea.
If you know where I can get the best information about the flooding in Appalachia, I’d appreciate. East Tennessee and Western North Carolina is where I was born and mostly grew up and I’d like to see the damage. I’ve tried Facebook, but I’m not following anyone from the area any more. It’s been a long time!

My sister lives in Hendersonville, NC, 25 miles south of Asheville. Both cities are completely inundated. They look like a war zone fought with water. All the roads in Hendersonville are closed, and Duke Electric hopes to have power restored by Friday. Cell phones are not working. Sister lives in a condo complex and her two-storey unit was built in the center of a horseshoe shaped bend of a small creek. The bottom floor of the condo is about 4-5 feet above grade, so maybe they did not flood.

@Stoaty, you say, “I’d like to see the damage.” Just be aware some of it is extraordinarily unpleasant. Shocking.
sundance at The Conservative Treehouse / The Last Refuge has been running good articles about the devastation and what is being done (and not done) to help those affected. There are lots of comments, and many contain X, youtube, and news web reports that will be of interest to you.

Thanks for the prompt responses. “Like” was not the best choice of words.

North Carolina’s Weather Authority on Facebook is a good resource for information on Western North Carolina. I’ve followed him for years now, such a dedicated young man. He’s been covering this since it hit.

Beware: more than one link in a comment is apt to earn you a trip to the spam filter, where you will remain -- cold, frightened and alone -- until I remember to clean the trap. But, hey, without Akismet, we'd be up to our asses in...well, ass porn, mostly.<< carry me back to ol' virginny
