I just arrived at my destination after a 16 hour hellish drive (normally 6 1/2). My house is directly in this beast's path though thankfully not at risk of storm surge. My friends in Sarasota are expecting 15' of water. My aunt and uncle are going to ride it out on St. Pete Beach, so I expect I might not see them again. The bird and turtle nesting grounds in Ana Maria island are guaranteed to cease to exist. The peacocks of Longboat Key are dead, they just don't know it yet. The list goes on. But hey, Jimmy just bought a PowerStroke diesel dually with the money he made off crypto, and Saheel just pushed code generated by ChatGPT into production, so I guess it all balances out.

PS: The last bit is half made up. Saheel is the name of a colleague of mine, so that's not true. What is true is that an engineer at one of my clients literally pushed generated code into production.

My friends in Sarasota are expecting 15’ of water.

How high's the water, momma?

15' high and rising

How high's the water, momma?

She said it's 15' high and rising

Now can we all agree that climate change sucks?

This weather is bad even for the ducks

But it's okay 'cause Jimmy got a truck

15' high and rising

Wow it's been awhile since I saw anything remotely referring to brony culture. It was a fun subgenre of culture n_n

(was as in I'm less exposed to it nowadays. I hope it's alive and kicking)

It is, despite all attempts to kill it.

I hope your aunt and uncle leave you something nice in their wills

Just not the house.
