speaking of which, @sjvn are you high and dry or...

@vo1de Not sure I understand the question but here are some resources other than 911: Buncombe county non-emergency line for community reports: 828-250-6650. This is for things like downed trees, debris, power line concerns

@MLClark I'm drinking water which is a small victory to be followed by coffee with oats and some form of fruit. The sky isn't pouring dihydrogen monoxide means el perro loco gets a walk this morning.

@MLClark Dictionary Wars:
"If Noah Webster had had his way, the spelling divide would have been as it is with color and colour, theater and theatre, and draft and draught: he defined ax in his 1828 An American Dictionary of the English Language and included the note “improperly written as axe.” This was in direct defiance of Samuel Johnson’s 1755 A Dictionary of the English Language, which wasted no ink on the shorter form but included only axe."
