Victor here, reporting from Maryland & abusing rights given out by Jim many, many moons ago. Here's the report from Montgomery County, Maryland:

Rain. Lots and lots of rain and Nic reports a neighbor was out in this rain, poking around the foundation of his house. Poor guy.

I took the dog out for a walk and that was the fastest she's ever peed and pooped in her life. She's not real fond of the rain, either.

The rats are asleep in their cages and apparently don't give one of their own asses that Tropical Storm Hanna has decided to pay a visit.

I'm in the basement in my little corner of the house, converting cheesy 80's vinyl to MP3...snaps, crackles, pops, and one skip (so far) intact.

Oh, and I'm drinking a little beer. But unlike Shank's swill, I drank something Nic's cousin brewed a couple of months ago and just one of 'em made me rather numb. So either he's brewed it really strong or he's poisoned me.

If I'm not in the hospital in a few hours I'll switch to something better.
