Chris Fleming as Todd O'Connor in Widow's Bay — 1.05 "What to Expect on Your Trip"

One of the contractors at work is a dude who recently moved here from the Bay Area. He is used to Northern California, which is to say that he is NOT used to the general Tornado Alley attitude towards Thor dragging his dick across the plains and causing massive destruction on a semi-regular basis.

Namely, the fact that we get them at all, and the fact that the general Midwestern response is to wander outside to see if we can see it.

We have bad weather forcasted the next few days and I had to talk him through the site tornado plan and storm shelter locations (we have six on site, my office is actually inside one) to head off the poor guy's anxiety and also I had to admit that yes, I also share the general Tornado Alley brain damage and go outside to try and see it when the sirens go off.

Poor man thinks everyone in tornado Alley is out of their minds and as one of those people I can't even deny it. 'I seek shelter if it's heading this way' did not reassure him, he's convinced we are mad.

To answer the question in the notes, @what-about-second-tmblr ; when I visited Sacramento and LA some years ago, the sensation of a minor earthquake shifting the ground around just barely enough for a human to feel it had me freaked out and basically lying flat on my back outside going AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA while the Californians looked at me like I'd lost my mind.

So yes it is reciprocal.

I've been tearing through the Last Binding trilogy at a breakneck pace for the past week and am about a third of the way through A Restless Truth and the boat group dynamic has me in hysterics.

Like. An Ace Attorney weird girl, a tragic blonde noir dame, and a jewel-stealing erotica author unionize to torment God's Worst Bisexual. Effervescent. All of these people have different priorities and agendas even as they undertake the same plot quest but they have wordlessly and unilaterally decided that They Cannot Let Lord Hawthorn Live. And they're right.

Love the fact that in any other time period or country, a presidential assassination attempt is constant headline news worldwide, but at this point it's like, "oh, someone took another shot at trump? ... he dead?... no, then why are you bothering me?... Let me know when he's dead."

No, you see, I wish to be an author. Not in marketing. Or an influencer. I wish to tell my stories, be told I did a fantastic job, and then go back to my hovel to scribble some more. I am delicate of constitution and awkward in crowds.

How long do y’all think the waiting list is to get into Grace’s classes on Erid? Like if there was a science class taught by an actual alien I know I’d fly my ass to the other side of the globe to take it. It probably costs fifty squillion eridbucks or whatever despite Grace’s insistence it be widely available and accessible.

Maybe he films videos for their little Eridian screen readers. Maybe he’s like if Bill Nye the Science Guy were an alien. Eridian teachers rolling out the television and all the little ones get excited because “woo hoo it’s Grace video day amaze amaze amaze!!”

Every now and again I'll have a day where I'm forcibly reminded that ADHD is classified as a disability for a reason.

Yeah his name is Wet von Fakemustache and he fantasizes about his wife putting her cigarettes out on him, but let's not forget that "He's dead sir. I was there when they hanged him." is one of the coldest things ever said on the Disc.
