Since we still can’t go home, we are celebrating the little victories we’ve enjoyed thus far in this year’s weather-inspired media circus.
– To my knowledge, no one has incorrectly referred to those of us who have had to leave our homes as ‘refugees’. No one who is in their own country is a refugee and there is no irony in using the term incorrectly. It just sounds stupid.
– I have not heard grossly inaccurate things like, “most of the lower ninth ward is under sea-level” (it’s actually the opposite).
– I successfully managed to avoid watching Jim Cantore.
We’ll take these small victories within the chaos. Let’s hope nothing is leaking into our home while we wait.

Then again, other peoploe watched Cantore for me. It was vicarious. I am ashamed.

I’m just glad to hear that you all are alive and well. I actually had a greater fear of all that traffic, leaving town.
