You’d think if the snowstorm of Jan 24-25 knocked out her power, she’d be back up by now, and if it knocked out her internet, she’d be able to get to a Starbucks to at least say, “I’m OK,” but maybe it never occurred to her that we’d worry.
And maybe the snowstorm caused her real problems.
Anyone know if she owns or rents? and where she lives, more or less, to know if she got hit by the snowstorm?
I’m getting more and more fidgety.
IIRC, she is in Topeka, which I think is at the outer edge of the cataclysm.
I PM’d @engineer_comp_geek , and he informed me that she was actively reading/visiting the forums on February 4.
ETA: Thanks, ECG, for the info.
See now THIS is why I stopped posting here 20 fucking years ago. It just took me literally 40 minutes to get to the newest post of the one thread I give a shit about. How you regulars still do this in the age of social media I do NOT understand. How Baker makes any sense of this thread is likewise a mystery to me.
The layout of threads is different than anywhere else I’ve seen. But really once you get all the data into an excel sheet it’s not so bad to track everything.
Okay, if I didn’t miss anybody and did the math right, here are the current scores:

Thank you for tallying the score.
This is the highest I’ve ever been ranked.
I don’t think you added in Van Der Beek’s points (at least for me). I should have 137 (32 for Adams, 53 for Arnold, 52 for Van Der Beek).
Yes, I missed that one (and probably several others). You should be in the 137 points group.
I don’t want to think how complicated this would have been if Tatiana Schlossberg had lived seventy-two hours longer.
Still, thanks for the updates!

Thanks for the update @Little_Nemo ! I’d forgotten that I jumped onto poor Brad Arnold’s bandwagon at the last minute when making up my list, but points are points.
I only have Bob Weir on my list, so I should have only 22 points.
Not the 74 you have listed for me.

And I should have points for Van der Beek.
Between Adams and VdB the bandwagon is carrying me further than usual.

I’m still at zero. I’m just waiting for all of you to have your picks die off so I can make my big push at the end of the year!
Halfway through February, I have 1 checked off, and that is huge for me. Even the year I won at Fathom, I don’t think anyone actually died until about May.
I just posted about how interesting it is that he outlived the actor that Frank Burns tore down in MASH by saying, “Too late. You killed him.”
