Evie Day 574
Good morning, and a happy Thursday to you all. Today is 10 October 2024.
Florida is waking up to some pretty severe damage along the interior coastline. A couple of friends have checked in, and I look forward to hearing from some others soon.
Last night, I got together with the guys to play a little virtual tabletop. The gentleman who invited me to join the group lives in Orlando, and a newer party member lives next door to him. We were all online enjoying getting out collective butts kicked by these giant rock things named after the Stark brothers from “Game of Thrones”, and over time we would notice the absences of Dan and Marcus, as they were dealing with the several Milton-related weather and electrical outages.
Another old buddy of mine was on Tic-Toc, walking about his house as the storm was passing through, his electrical generator keeping enough light going to refill his highball glass with a quality libation. I think it was a High West whiskey.
I’m back watching the news, watching some footage of a community that was struck hard by the hurricane, watching trees come apart in the wind like frail children’s toys. The next clip will be from water rescues.
I’ll be back in my virtual classroom in a couple hours. I don’t think any of my learners this week are in the wake of the path. I know I’ve got folks from Toronto, Baltimore, London, and Milan. I can’t recall the other locations off the top of my head, but I might have somebody from Atlanta.
OK time for me to focus on the day ahead, while Odin and Lily bark their little heads off.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
