The wind is howling outside, sky is gray, and we just got a campus email alert.
FTA: We are under ..."a flood watch, a wind advisory, and a hazardous weather outlook. . .This system has the capability to cause serious and catastrophic flooding ...".
Not even #TheOnion could have written this. Talk about #KentuckyProud. Just when I think this shit hole country cannot go any lower, here ya go.

I'm getting back to me, but in other #ThreeGoodThings
1. I have never been so excited to do laundry. Got my first NEW washer and dryer today at age 44.
2. Talked to my Mom for 5-1/2 hours. Crazy but we window shopped and planned for her visit in a week. 1,800 miles of separation.
3. Hung out with my neighbors and am going to have purpose making food someone who just had ACL surgery today.
The #PartyOfStupid: doing its best to really ensure Kentucky's shit hole status. Next, probably trying to reinstate slavery. Queue up "Old Man River."

FTA: "Thanks to Kentucky Republicans, we now have a book banning preacher on our library board, and due to the ignorant vitriol they stirred up with Senate Bill 150, the library director carries a gun to work.
Thanks to Kentucky Republicans, the dream of moving to a small, rural, Kentucky town for the slower pace and peace and quiet no longer exists." (e)
A few days ago or so I said I had a dear friend tell me, very sincerely, that I should get a gun and learn how to use it. I keep hoping the #CosmicJoker's 
wheel does not land on this option.
BTW, this is here in Kentucky.

Because there are clusterfucks, and then there is this. Holy shit! How the fuck you still got kids on a bus at 10pm? Not even airlines managing their #FlyingCattleCars are this incompetent nor their software as awful as the PoS this school district apparently used for their buses.
