I was hunkered down in my designated safe spot on my slab of concrete, an interior closet with multiple walls outward beyond that. There's was a tornado warning, and it seemed like it was aiming right at me. The good news is they just said they have seen nothing on their screen indicating flying debris detection. Looks now like it is farther to the north of me as it is passing by. Glenn is to the south of me so I have not tried to text him up. I think they'll be fine.
But I did send Paul a text about 12:15 central because they had a warning about the same time in Columbia. Haven't heard back yet.
“One of the great challenges and one of the great blessings is that most people are stupid. Terribly stupid. Stupidity makes people fearful when it doesn’t make them mean. So you’ve got the stupidity to deal with, and you have to deal with this to do good work. However, being stupid and afraid, they will tend to believe what you tell them if you’re smart, and I’m smart. So you sell yourself and projects and other people all the time to remarkably stupid and powerful people. It’s exhausting; it’s frustrating; it is part of the profession. I don’t care how good you are or how tenacious you are—if you can’t deal successfully with stupid people, life—in or out of the arts—is going to be terribly difficult.”—Bette Davis/Interview with James Grissom/1984/
