Publius & Co.

Some pictures

As Ted said, we dodged a bullet with this one.

The gf and I took the dog for a walk, and there was some damage. There were trees down; one of them was *not* the one I was worried about here, fortunately.

This is the worst damage I've seen in our neighborhood so far--a fence damaged by a falling tree (I apologize for the blurriness of the picture; it'll show up in some others. I'm still trying to figure out how to use my new camera and the lag between hitting the shutter release and the picture being taken is still driving me nuts. You'll also notice apparent differences in exposure; some of these were enhanced with Paint Shop Pro.).

One of our nearby streetlamps was knocked over. I saw no exposed wires. Those two blurs are the gf and the dog.

The parking lot of a nearby shopping center. All of the local grocery stores have done away with loading zones and those damn carts are all over the fucking place because people don't take them back. I hope the grocery stores get sued because someone ended up with a cart in their living room.

In other news, Montgomery County has announced there are 483 intersections with no working lights.

Metro opened at 8AM.

I'm amazed at how hungry I've been, sitting around and doing nothing. Must be an evolutionary reaction to realizing I might not have easy access to food in the near future.

My office is still closed, so I've got a four day weekend! I'll do my Naked Dance of Celebration later on.

UPDATE: The gf posted her pictures from our walk here.
