Here’s my storm story from yesterday (although they’re already updating it today, so it’s not all mine anymore). And here’s another, shorter story of mine from today’s paper.

This site’s readers may be interested in seeing the lame volleys Katie is launching my way in a pathetic attempt at a flame war. So far, her most stinging criticism is that I don’t have enough up-close familiarity with rats. Ouchie.

why are you two fighting?

Boredom, mostly. The winner takes on Kottke.

Wrong. The winner gets a post-mortem. This is a battle to the death.

I think Ben and Mena have you two beat. Check out http://www.b-may.com and follow the he said/she said links to see what I mean....

You say it's boring because you're getting beat.

I'm satisfied to sit back and remain on the defensive without attacking. She is but a gnat fluttering around my head -- annoying, yes, but such a poor, pathetic little creature that it's not really worth the effort to swat it away.

Claiming Southern Gentleman status is convenient when you're getting swat at a mean game of haikootie.
