8. The USPS always works?

Well, it used to always work. These days, we go for days on end without mail... and then one day we'll have three or four deliveries of mail... including at 9:30 at night. Nope, it doesn't work now. I'm missing bills, packages I've been expecting and traced, you name it. I'm just assuming deJoy is still in charge, and is still doing his best to kill it altogether.

6. Why yes. I do believe I did read that.

7. Yes. I do recall seeing this before, during another storm. I put it up anyhow.

9. Ouch, that one must really hurt

[onenote]

10. While I'm all in favor of crapping all over Abbott, Texas actually handled the storm better than a lot of states.
