I’m laughing a bit thinking of the absurdity going on in my brain. While reading the parent comment there were two parallel streams going on in my brain:

“That is so awesome that the community rallied together like that”

“What the duck are they doing having a large gathering in their yard?! Surely they could have figured out a safer way to do that! If someone got COVID during a hurricane with no power that could be really bad!”



> If someone got COVID during a hurricane with no power that could be really bad!”

The 2020 hurricane season will be starting soon. With COVID, the emergency financial legislation running out, the election, schools, holidays, and hurricane season, I fear this fall will be something we'll remember for decades to come.


GP commenter here — I assume you re-read my comment and realized that this was in September 2008 .... :-)


Hahahaha yes. That's when I realized that it was totally reasonable and that my brain's mental model of the world has been thoroughly rewired...
