As If Time Stood Still

I continue as if there was no pause, as if there was no silent depression in the otherwise rambling road. Sometimes I even fill in the holes and let it appear I was never gone. Like silent friends who were there all along. Even when the dirt, drama, and details go unrecorded, like life, there is still something burning somewhere, and i know you care Z0tl, Persnickety, J, and what the heck, as I throw caution to the wind of late, I reach out to you through search engines thusly, http://dashensia.blogspot.com/ http://z0tl.diaryland.com/ http://anna-lys.blogspot.com/ http://nebulous615.diaryland.com/ http://mcearstix.diaryland.com/ http://quasar9.blogspot.com/ https://myspace.com/3ig http://smashthegas.diaryland.com/ http://dandydandy.diaryland.com/ http://annie-m-s-b.diaryland.com/ http://nicim.diaryland.com/ http://the-moo.diaryland.com/ http://cutething.diaryland.com/ http://thrutheseis.blogspot.com/ http://clarity25.blogspot.com/ http://pcfulchaos.diaryland.com/ http://obsidiabuttrfly.livejournal.com/ http://z0tl.blogspot.com/ http://geeked-out.diaryland.com/ http://smedindy.diaryland.com/ http://jesbohn.diaryland.com/ http://hissandtell.diaryland.com/ http://thereisnospace.blogspot.com/2016/11/ramblings_2.html/ http://www.coyotethunder.com/RedMonkey/ http://doinitmyownway46collage.blogspot.com/ http://dalyrical1.diaryland.com/ http://rebeckajane.blogspot.com/ https://rhetroric.blogspot.com/ http://muse-of-the-phoenix.blogspot.com/ http://thenervousbreakdown.com/author/zoe/ http://for-you-only.diaryland.com/ http://f-i-n.diaryland.com/ http://augustdreams.diaryland.com/ http://eco-chican.blogspot.com/ http://candoor.net/bios/ http://fortheloveowords.blogspot.com/ http://jettingthroughlife.blogspot.com/ http://candor.tumblr.com/ http://www.catwithapen.com/ https://thelastdreamer.deviantart.com/ http://candoor.net/ http://galacticsouth.blogspot.com/ http://museartspot.blogspot.com http://thevidme.blogspot.com https://pernickety.deviantart.com http://theseblogginglives.blogspot.com and dozens more (remember the right side of this {not to mention the left side of right} and explore yourself... cuz I'm sneaky like that).

What about life?

Narf :)

Seriously?

Nothing?

Well, there was this, but then, there were a lot of things once upon a time, ya know?

In case it matters.

Used To Be

Seems lately I am not as interested in pretending you are interested as I used to be.

Life goes on... and so it goes.

Narf.

Wow

Like as if. Might as well post this entry now...

If this entry posted, it means I forgot I had an entry scheduled for today which means I left this blog and possibly this blogger site (or am simply not paying attention). It could mean I died, so call if you want to know. My number is many places in my online world and other relatively easy to find places if you just look around and/or have clicked on links throughout my written gardens.

I hope you are well and happy and loving the life you create for yourself each day. I hope you sleep peacefully when you sleep and feel wonderfully wonder-filled when you are awake. I hope your dreams come true (if they haven't already) and I hope to see you again.

There's always hope (I hope). :)

After disappearing fr weeks without explanation, it ppeared no one noticed. So I felt alone and sad. So I thought... might as well post this entry now... the entry above.

I'm not dead yet though, but at least we know I'm ready.

Tired, sad, lonely, but definitely ready.

It is good to be ready.

24 Hour Days

My relief (my boss, the back up Safety Officer for the EOC) is sick so I am covering the EOC 24/7 with short cat naps when I need them. Next time I bring an air mattress. This is going to be a long week. The County was hit hard. There are roads out and bridges out and many trees down. The flooding has hit most communities with some communities under several feet of water. In this smart phone age we have videos from people's living rooms, people standing in four feet of water in their homes, coming in emails and text messages. Clean up will take months, at least.

It could have been worse.

Not Like A Hurricane

That is not like a hurricane, but an actual hurricane. Around the time of this entry, the eye of Hurricane Irma was approaching the EOC (Emergency Operations Center) where I was sitting at the Safety Desk monitoring wind velocities. About six hours earlier I made the call to halt all non-emergency County operations and I was looking over at police and fire as they were approaching the sustained wind speed for their shut down call. Emergency shelters were losing power and emergency crews had to be sent out in armored vehicles. It was a seriously exciting night all around and the County people came through pretty well. Some lessons learned, but our people made it through safe.

I spent a week at the EOC, so the entries may be late.

Stay Safe.

Settling In For The Duration

The duration of the storm, that is. Hurricane Irma is on it's way. The EOC (Emergency Operations Center) was activated earlier in the week, as I may have said, and earlier yesterday evening I arrived at the EOC to stay until the storm is well passed and emergency operations go down to clean up levels. I'll likely be here until the shelters close, which may be a week or more depending on the damage the storm does. If you want to know what we do, feel free to take the courses. We are here for the duration. My role is to keep the county workers safe. Their role is to keep the citizens and county safe.

Are we having fun yet?

Storm Ahead

My job requires me to be at the Emergency Operations Center for the duration of major storms and a Hurricane, Irma, is approaching this area. I may be gone for a while.

In case it matters.

Whatever
