anything, it is that inclement weather can be very dangerous. Please check in every few hours so I can keep tabs on everyone and make sure no one is going to die.

Still at work. Now that most everyone is gone, I might get some work done. Space heater is working nicely.
What was your favorite Christmas special? The Waltons? Donnie and Marie? Christmas at Pee-wee’s playhouse?

Facts of Life. But the first one where they did the old "everyone got snowed in" gag that was so popular in the era. Subsequent x-mas shows in that series really jumped the shark, like Blair's sister having the baby and the one where they went to prison to sing.

Hope the car starts. |

I can’t tell you how often I’ve come back in after a weekend to find that I left my space heater on. It’s one of those radiating types. I’m not supposed to have it. |

They taught me, via Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, that if you're different, then FUCK YOU unless you can be of some utility to the authoritarian power structure. And I figgered that out the first time I watched it, as a young buck. I had always wished that Rudolph would have used that nose of his to murder every last one of those stuck-up, bullying, demeaning motherfuckers.  |

Frau Siouxs employer remodeled after the 2007 flood and did the whole leed green certification which pretty much consisted of confiscating everyone's space heaters and replacing the Bunn coffee machines with Keurigs. Freak, your heater would be grounds for termination. |

I got an ice cream headache from being outside for one minute. Fuck this shit. After I worked out I stepped out into the Vortex to see if I could handle a minute of it drenched in sweat. I could. Exactly one minute. And that was that. I felt like I had cocaine in my eyeballs. |

Freak, your heater would be grounds for termination. We moved to a LEED certified building like 10 years ago. They had no way to track gas usage by floor, but the floors were separately metered for electricity. Our winter electricity usage more than doubled from all the space heaters. I'm convinced to a certainty that the LEED bullshit was created by power companies as a way of smoothing out electricity demand between summer and winter. In the summer, businesses use a fuckton of electricity for A/C, but virtually all buildings are heated by gas and electricity demand tanks. I have yet to hear of a massive LEED building that didn't need a metric fuckton of space heaters in the winter. People I've talked to from Chicago, NY, KC, Minneapolis, they all have the same fucking story. I can handle it a bit chili, but when I buy a fucking spaceheater, shit is bad. That shit absolutely has to be a coordinated scam by the utilities. |

Exactly one minute. And that was that. I felt like I had cocaine in my eyeballs. Pussy. I just got to my moms in Des Moines. And it took me at least two minutes to grab my coat, blanket, pop, purse, and my laptops out of the vehicle then as I was walking to their door I was thinking that I could tell it’s warmer than when I left Rochester. |

Freak, your heater would be grounds for termination. I was told by the maintenance guy that found this heater for me a couple years ago (probably from the trash) not to tell anyone where I got it and that I could get in trouble. They sent out an org wide email to get rid of them. The damn plastic feet have broken off and I lean it against a foot stool under my desk that holds a large battery back up for my PC’s. There’s no auto shut off. |

I mean it's fuckin sunny and hot when you're usually running them. They are down here, but I don't think it is very practical in a place like NY or Chicago. Not enough surface area on those roofs to install them and they try to minimize the shit that can fly off when they get hit by 40 mph winds. There's a fair number of solar shit down here, but nothing for wind like you see all over the midwest now. I think solar is more efficient closer to the equator, so it probably makes more sense than wind down here because with all the mountains and shit it ain't as windy, plus we have major hurricane risk that could wipe out way more of those wind turbines than a tornado can. |

I think the "wind quality" of the south is pretty shitty in general. I recall perusing the wind maps that are used to determine turbine placement and the midwest down into texas is kind of the sweet spot. I've notice a lot moar of them going up in eastern colorado lately, which I've long expected since its usually windy as fuck out there. And there is nothing but barren high plains desert. |
