    he was a tall white dude but not that old. probably upper 30s early 40s. he was nice just kind of forgot about us a few times.

    The huge scoreboard will block some of the city skyline & red mountain but I guess the sun would be more of an issue if they put it in the north end of the stadium.

    Not gonna lie, I drive that part (when coming from 65 or 20W) fast as shit because I'm always worried about that exact scenario. So sad. I'm assuming the fatality was whoever fell over the side.

    For some reason I thought you were OTM.

    My wife's folks in Trussvegas looked to be in the line of fire, but it went North of town.

    Just walked by a bunch of sixers of Hopslam at the Clairmont Pig. Has it always come in longnecks? I thought only cans...but maybe 2020 is messing with me.

    I bought a case at the Crestline Piggly Wiggly. Then I saw more the next day at the Homewood pig. Guess they aren’t as hot as they used to be.

    Random: is there anywhere to get Thai basil downtown or more toward the east side of town? I don't have time to run all the way over on valley to the Asian market but I had planned to cook a curry tonight. Even Walmart was carrying it for a while but I haven't seen it lately.

    Just got back and it is very well run. No waiting and it was a piece of cake.

    They said that Chick-Fil-A taught them how to deal with long lines. I guess it worked because there were no long lines.

    I was expecting the worst and figured it would be a few hours but we had a 9:25am appointment and we were out of there at 9:45.

    So weather wise how bad are we looking? Most of the focus has been on north Alabama. Guessing we have ice on roads for a day and no snow.

    my daycare is closing at noon. it seems unlikely that we will have any problems today but i guess they are trying to avoid another 2014. which i understand.

    Only guaranteed issue is all this water going into a hard freeze tonight. Roads will probably not be great to drive on tonight after sunset and most of tomorrow morning. Small chance this switches over to a freezing rain this afternoon

    I think this definitely looks like a possible forecast miss the way the precipitation is holding up behind the freeze line right now

    It looks like line where precipitation is switching from rain to sleet/freezing rain to our west has a lot more moisture behind it than they forecast. Definitely not a good thing for west Alabama and could mean a wintry mix for us later which will cause worse ice issues tonight/tomorrow morning

    yeah after seeing that start coming down i'm really glad we already got my kids and we are all at home working.

    A year ago i'd be sweating it out at the office wondering if my boss was gonna let me leave.

    I wonder if that even happens. Might not get enough sun. Either way, I don't trust people on the roads here AT ALL. I wonder if we are delayed tomorrow.
