The results frankly were a shock. We can see human fingerprints all over atmospheric methane emissions for at least the last 2,000 years. Humans have been an integral part of Earth's carbon cycle for much longer than we thought.
Thank God there are no classes here today and there was very little traffic. There was no cars that were damaged, no people were hurt, and there was no property damage. We count our blessings because this could've been much worse than it is.
We just did some things that we didn't take care of last time we played them. We picked up our defense.
What you have to do is take care of losses before they happen.
We've had requests from people to organize their houses, their offices -- home office or business office. We'll do house-sittings, even pet-sittings, we'll go to your house and take care of your pet.
There is a lot of memorabilia here. We have kitchen equipment. We have banquet equipment. We have about 7,000 dishes. We have enough carpet for five miles of carpeting.

But I'm crossing my fingers because I don't know that that will happen since no one from FEMA or MEMA or anybody has bothered to check on the town of Richton.

A single overstatement, wherever or however it occurs, diminishes the whole, and a carefree superlative has the power to destroy, for the reader, the object of the writer's enthusiasm.
The complaint about modern steel furniture, modern glass houses, modern red bars and modern streamlined trains and cars is that all these objets modernize, while adequate and amusing in themselves, tend to make the people who use them look dated. It is an honest criticism. The human race has done nothing much about changing its own appearance to conform to the form and texture of its appurtenances.
Stuart rose from the ditch, climbed into his car, and started up the road that led toward the north...As he peeked ahead into the great land that stretched before him, the way seemed long. But the sky was bright, and he somehow felt he was headed in the right direction.
This is not Bambi. You can't think of these things as cute cartoon characters. They are animals.
