Quoted from the_red_chimp: On a more serious note than Brad's,
Stockton did get hit pretty hard. Some of my friends have relatives over there, and a lot of damage was done.
Their courthouse is gone, their school is ripped up and they lost most of downtown.
Therefore, his electricity will most likely be down for awhile, and we won't be able to contact him until it is back (assuming that he will have computer access then), so the worrying will continue. When I lived in Huntsville, Alabama, we had a lot of tornados and warnings. During our first summer there (we were living in Redstone Arsenal base housing), a twister came behind our house, tore up a bunch of thick pine trees and then took the roof off of the house next to the house next to us. It was so scary. I really hope he's alright. *sad*
The Great Stories are the ones you have heard and want to hear again. The ones you can enter anywhere and inhabit comfortably. They don't decieve you with thrills and trick endings. They don't surprise you with the unforeseen. They are as familiar as the house you live in. Or the smell of your lover's skin. You know how they end, yet you listen as though you don't. In the way that although you know that one day you will die, you live as though you won't. In the Great Stories you know who lives, who dies, who finds love, who doesn't. And yet you want to know again.
That is their mystery and their magic.
