Yeah we got hit up in the Twin Cities this evening;

Quote

Tens of thousands of people across the metro are without power due to Wednesday night's severe weather.

According to Xcel Energy, more than 65,000 people in the Twin Cities area were without power as of about 9:05 p.m. To report a power outage, click here.

"Hundreds of employees are out working to safely restore electric service to customers as quickly as possible," read a press release. "We understand that power outages can be a major inconvenience for customers, and we appreciate customers’ understanding, patience and kindness as our crew members work to restore power."

The press released continued: "When it comes to restoring power, top priority is given to situations that threaten public safety, such as live downed wires. Repair priority is based on what will restore power to the largest number of customers most quickly, such as transmission lines or feeder lines that serve large amounts of customers."

I got home to find the joint still intact and with electrical power so I'm relieved.

      Don’t ever complain about your husband being a lazy slob around Allison. She will just say, “at least your husband isn’t dead!”

      Shoshanna finally addresses her parent's books....by implying that there's nothing problematic with Created to be his Helpmeet, and that her divorce is justified...just because???

      The Babylon Bee, which used to gently mock fundies and evangelicals, but has mostly turned into a right-wing version of The Onion, has gotten some backlash from bigots.

      They posted a fake bit about a man they labeled as "inbred" proclaiming that the white race needs to stay pure.

      Here it is:

      I'm a bit confused about why the fuss has just come up, since the post was from 2017. But maybe they just put it on X/Twitter, or someone just re-found it and passed it around.

      There was a rush of mind-bogglingly racist and antisemitic response. More here:

      One thing I wasn't aware of is the Air BnB unit on one side of the house  had guests staying at the time of the search, although I don't know if they were actually there at the  time. 

      When I heard Jodi state that to the officers I thought, huh-uh, that's not an Air BnB, I bet it is housing for "intensive therapy" for couples for which she could charge the church. But maybe not.

      If that other side had its own kitchen, that still leaves two kitchens in the rest of the house plus the safe/prison room with its tiny "kitchen." Jodi may have built it with her brand of therapy control in mind. I wonder how that house would serve another family who will end up living there.

      Something that puzzles me is how both garages were so pristinely clean, but with signs that cars had been in there at some point. The entire driveway is small rocks or pebbles, I could hear the police vehicles crunching over them. Yet there was no sign of pebbles being drug into the garage or falling from tire treads. Sweeping it out regularly may have been forced on one or more of the kids.

      And this reminds me to dispose of a couple of things in the drawer in my guest room.  I had a beloved Jewish friend; he was a Holocaust surviver and lived to be 104.  I had gotten a little lacy head covering for myself and a yarmulka for another friend in case we attended his funeral.  I never thought of him being buried in Israel, but he (and more recently his wife) was, so I'll keep my daughter from wondering what in the world I meant by those, when my time comes.
