| It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine. REM F9r those of you on the East coast that were inundated with ‘End of the World’ news about Irene, you already know what it was like. Not benign, but not horrendous. For those of you elsewhere, what could you possibly think about news reporters dressed up on a beach with no rain? Comments? | |
Don't blame yourself. The apocalypse wasn't your fault. Actually, it was just as much your fault as it was anyone else's. Come to think of it, if you're an American, it was probably about 80-90 percent more your fault than the average human. But don't let that get you down. It wasn't exclusively your fault. Unless you're the president. Then it might be your fault. But you'll have plenty of interns to tell you that it wasn't, so you'll be fine.

40+ dead... millions still without power... record flooding...
ReplyDeleteI think Irene was bad enough as she was.
Hope for the best, but Prepare for the worst.
My favorite line was before Irene landed... "this beach is now closed, but as you can see people are out here anyway - but it's just some families with small children."
How much rain did ME get?
Not much east of Portland. More in Western, ME.
ReplyDeleteBridges washed out in Carrabassett Valley. People stuck on Sugarloaf. Same at Killington.
Haven't heard much from Downeast.
