Given that I have just spent the best part of an hour fending off the advances of peculiar chaps wishing to sell us pornography, ringtones, and, in some cases, pornographic ringtones I request this of you. Give me a reason to continue, or should I allow ask a drunk to drown amidst a sea of advertising? Or simply let me know that you're here, so as to give me a reason to fend off the encroaching sense of futility (I am reluctant to go down the registered users route, let us never forget that random googlers make us what we are).

The registration route seems to be the final possible evasive manuever. Who would have thought that automata vomitus would be the death of us? The human sort seemed so innocuous.

...and once they do we can make insatiable demands upon them to stand us rounds...

We have no damage to our house. LUCKY!!!!!
2 limbs about 4 inch dia. and 15 feet long fell / blew onto our front roof and the top twisted out of a tree in the backyard.
Our neighbors lost that big tree plus a canopy over the deck to the pool. Canopy didnt blow away, it was crushed to the ground!
Trees down all over the area, privacy fences blown all over the place, assorted shingles and insulation and debris are all over our yards.
Power went out for about 30 seconds during the storm.
Around 11 pm firemen came knocking on doors checking occupants and directing people to the local highschool where the Red Cross evac center was set up..... if you needed help. We didn't.
Less than a minute after they left the power went off but it came back on 2 - 3 minutes later.
LONG NIGHT!
