Oh man, I left the windows down...

My e-mail is pretty typical: list of jokes that are fwd, fwd, fwd to death; M'Beko who is trying to smuggle millions of dollars out of Africa, and the various pharmaceutical and porn e-mail that slip past the filters.

I made the mistake once of signing up for weather updates from WTMJ. ("...there's been a great disturbance in the blogosphere, a billion souls crying out in torment "nooooo....") I think it was the most stupid thing I've done. And that includes my dating history, so you know how stupid this was.

Today's e-mail: "Severe Weather." Was there severe weather management failed to warn me about? Were my fellow cubicle rats heading to the basement? No.

As for keeping my loved ones safe, I just got another e-mail...
