Burned my palm at dark, cher. Everybody with palm left from Palm Sunday, now is the time. Everybody without, go sit with somebody who has some.

Track update from the 4 a.m. advisory: the trough to the north is digging. If it digs far enough, she turns. I will be making no claims about palm. I will say there is a frond in a saucer on my counter and I have not ruled anything out.

Turned at 6:40 a.m., right on the trough. I would like the record to show that I am pleased. I would also like the record to show that the frond is still in the saucer and I am not moving it until November. That is not a claim.

Check on your old people, cher. Take them ice. Then go to Mass.

Three nights, 288 posts, and nothing in the stove. Proud of this board. Thread stays up until the power is back everywhere.
