That doesn’t sound at all like the TR here.

They do that with my daughter’s meds, too. Though the text usually comes across as “last chance to pick them up!”

I used to check Accuweather, the Weather Channel, and [weather.gov](http://weather.gov) every day. [Weather.gov](http://Weather.gov) usually had the best record of the three, so now it’s the only one I check.

I read over forty of those a couple years ago.

Those look interesting – and of course our library doesn’t have any of them.

The only SF involved is the “ring of fire” that transports Grantville from 2000 West Virginia to 1631 Thuringia. After that it’s straight historical fiction – or as straight and historical as a story involving 20th-century Americans in 17th-century Germany can be.

54 now, high 57 and low 37. 90% rain tonight. Really ought to get dressed and go do things outside…
