Fantastic word game

One thing I won't have to worry about is driving through the hurricane-force gusts because I worked yesterday instead.

Also, because there's a state of emergency and they told us to stay home and off the roads.
 
Instead of sleeping in the various cabins around band camp tonight all campers will be housed in the auditorium due to Hurricane Sandy because we thought it would be safer for all the campers to be kept together in one place.


Please note this only applies to our band camps in the mid and north Atlantic states that are being directly impacted by the storm.
 
One place not directly affected by Hurricane Sandy is our Hawaiian band camps although they were, for awhile, under tsunami warnings following an earthquake in Canada a day or two ago.
 
I'm sure you can understand that we understand and we certainly do but we expect, Mr. International Director of Band Camp, that you will be visiting some of the more heavily affected band camp locations up and down the eastern seaboard once you and your family are out of harms way and once it is safe to do so.

Nothing up this way yet in central Mass except a little rain and a lot of leaves down. Turns out I could have gone to work. The coast is another issue altogether. Later tonight and overnight will be another story with the big gusts.
 
Post as long as you have power and if you're without power and unable to post, we hope that someone else will jump in to post in your place because the game must continue to roll on no matter what Mother Nature throws at us.
 
"Our back - get it?" is a bit from the end of the album "The Day The Laughter Died" by Andrew Dice Clay.
 
Several years ago, and coming up on our 6th anniversary, who knew we'd still be here.

The worst of the storm seems to have passed us but we've still got some stuff to get through overnight. The band camp shelters will remain open right through Tuesday. The main offices will be open on Tuesday for those staffers who can get to work safely.
 
The ball was dropped by the BBC in their recent decision to end their venerable and well-beloved teletext service last week, yet there's still hope that somebody will pick it up again and run with it.

[size=8pt]I mean, how hard could it be? I hear this was brought on by the UK's DVB-T cutover (hereafter awkwardly dubbed the "Great British PAL Kill-Off", similar to an event that happened a few years ago within our own borders.) Doesn't DVB-T have provision for teletext services? I know DVB-S certainly does, anyways.

By the by, I notice that http://ceefax.ie/ doesn't resolve and just times out. In addition to the full content of both Ceefax services, that site also relayed RTE's teletext service. So does this mean that good old "Errortel" is dead, too?
 
Somebody will pick it up again and run with it because someone needs to write the Early Morning Contribution when dmargalotti isn't available which, this morning, is probably due to the aftereffects of Hurricane Sandy.
 
Rain and clouds on the east coast do not necessarily mean that you will escape from Hurricane Sandy, because in her case you can run, but you can't hide from that bad girl.

Bad Betsy - now that was another bad gal. We all thought she blew up the coast, but then she stalled off South Carolina, took her good ol' time about it, went back south to the Bahamas, then came back up and trashed Florida, then trashed New Orleans. Sandy is a big girl, and nasty.
 
That bad girl has left us and left some major damage in her wake but, thankfully, everything is ok here in the corner office.

And also ok in my neighborhood. ;)

Anyone heard from dmargalotti?
 
The big decisions on any band camp expansions and other decisions will be made by quadraphonic and myself until dmargalotti returns to the office.
