How does your community keep going? I mean, can you go to the grocery store? Are the clerks there to check you out? And is an $18/hour job really worth risking life and limb to get to? I'm sure emergency personnel have to be where they have to be, but the less critical jobs -- I have to think the malls, libraries, non-critical medical centers/doctors' offices, movie theaters, restaurants, and so on, are all shut down for the duration, aren't they?

And really, what is this weather going to do to the traditionally huge bump in TV sales in advance of the Super Bowl? Priorities, people.

I wish I could have you all come visit me here. (itwas80degreesinthesunonmyfrontporchyesterdayandIwentona12-mileridearoundFiestaIslandandactuallygotalittlesunburned)

Hopefully everyone went to the grocery store before the storm. Pretty much everything is closed. On the news they said they were sending out trucks to pick up doctors/nurses/etc. that were stranded and to help relieve staff that had been working all night. Mail is not being delivered today either.
