Ice Storm

Well it finally happened. one of 3 major ice storms slammed into Springfield, MO about 48 hours ago. By the end of the first night, more than 67,000 people were left without power or heat and this is only the beginning. My home fell victim also to a next door neighbor who has been told constantly to trim his big walnut tree. He never did. The result was two fold. The first big branch that broke off because of the ice buildup, ripped down my houses electrical feed, shorting everything out and blew the transformer. My back up generator for the home kicked on to keep power in the house. Not two hours later another big branch succumbed to teh weight of the ice and came crashing down on the generator putting it completely out of commission. Michelle and her daughter Melanie who have been staying at my home are at this moment doing their best to keep warm. I have told them that I am turning around and bringing the truck back to give them power to the house. Give me credit for installing a 6kw generator on my truck. Now the bad news... the damage was so bad that the city was declared a disaster area. The electric company said they have no definite date or eta of service restoral which means it could be weeks before any progress is seen.

With all we as a people have accomplished, we are still insignificant in the hands of Mother Nature.

PITA

Hooboy!
Just when I thought I was winning the rat race, someone threw in a faster rat with a radar absorbing body, GPS and and a HEMI 454 that runs on unrefined BS. :P Gotta love technology. Got a call from my favorite Toadstool. At least I'm not the only one in a dark damp place. >:) Hope she likes the new me. Even the new name should make her feel right at home. Not to mention anyone else that likes reading unabashed thoughts. Some of them must like high blood pressure. Who am I do deny them their daily allowance of self imposed anurism's and frustrations. Last night it hit me as we were getting ready for the change in the channel, what were we going to do for a main meeting channel. After speaking with Arthur and that crazy mage with the short term memory loss Merlin, they gave me an idea I never thought of. I have never had this much fun goofing around with an idea. I'll bring it before the players and see what they say. Fun is fun...

Well, I best get something to eat that will compliment my modern man physique...(no smart cracks Schroom) >:

A Voice from Brooklyn

The other day my cell was treated to a voice I thought I would never hear from. It was a good talk, had laughs and almost got her to shoot her drink out her nose. When I saw her online I asked her why she sounded like she was from Brooklyn. Actually I have a good friend that lives in Brooklyn that sound just like her or the other way around. WOW Now I can hear either one in stereo and Dolby Sorround Sound...lol

Rise of the Phoenix

Well, I think after months of keeping silent..I think it's time I said something again...What the heck, I get in trouble just by existing. Hey some of us have it and some don't. Over the time I have heard of explanations of what happened to the characters of Citadel. A Magical Catastrophe that destroyed the castle, which implied the destruction of everyone there and the the swallowing up of another rp channel... Do I smell the word Powergame here? This stems back to the big split a couple of years ago when I tried to run a temporary sl that never got off the ground. Things changed quickly and the idea was scrapped. But I see the old addage.." if you can do it so can I" all over this. It's one thing to say something was preventing char's from returning and also trapping those that remained inside. It was a temporary rp for the players that wanted to continue to rp inspite of what was going on at that time. Doesn't take much to twist it to suit another belief. Not sure where this Wasteland came from..could have been from someone eating a bowl of very aged refried beans. I guess it's time to That could create a void from which there is no escape.as it is I have decided to aim the direction of the rp in a new and unique direction and still keep it Medieval flair. It's time to reawaken the Phoenix and obliterate the Wasteland at the same time. We were put there..doesn't that give us the right to do with it as we please? I'll open the channel to all char's as long as they follow the desc's that defines their char's from literature I have for each, but all in all it should prove to be alot of fun and bear a booty of new sl's and ideas...We will wait and see.. the countdown has already started. T minus 13 days and counting... Someone get out the Tucks Pads...:P
