When barbecuing veggie burgers, be sure to tie your long hair back. That will keep it away from the flames, you stupid hippie.

I'm a man with a fork in a world of soup.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worse, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

- Teddy Roosevelt

We’ve watched while the stars burned
Out, and creation played in reverse.
The Universe freezing in half-light.
Once I thought to escape.
To end a master, step out of the
Path of collapse. Escape would make us God.
Yet I cannot help but remember one enigma,
A hybrid, elusive destroyer.
This is the one mystery I have not solved.
The only element unaccounted for.

Roosevelt had some of the greatest speeches by any president we've ever had. Wasn't he the one whos speeches they were reading in Miracle (the hockey movie)?

And hey Recon, you're alive! Yay! How were the hurricanes?

Of course Recon is alive, he did become a God at the end of Infinity, after all.

Alive and married. Been dodging hurricanes for 3 weeks now. Dodging and hunkering down during. Thanks for noticing.

well, if you were looking for a sign to call off the wedding, you missed four of them. but if not, then best of luck.

Sicmind, that was a very inspiring speech. I never knew Roosevelt had such wisdom. :-)

All things considered though, we are VERY lucky. Too many people hurt, killed and otherwise decimated by these beasts. It is amazing how insignificant all of the things that we think are important are when nature decides to not play nicely.

Ditto. I can't even fill a backpack with necessities (excluding food).

Yet it must of been hell on the east coast of Florida, I fortunatley live on the west coast, fairly close to Tampa. Couple roofs tore off the mobile home park here, and a tree split by Frances fell in the street my grandparents live on. My family stayed at the community's Rec Center.
