All those in the path of the storm, including in our own city.

NMM:
We had great fellowship along the way. The route proved to be about 15 minutes longer than allowed. Much graciousness was extended to the Q by the pax for the late return. Several pax commented on their surprise at the steepness of some of the streets, particularly on Corona and Cherokee. There also seemed to be general agreement that the weather was not nearly as nasty as expected or hoped for. Some of the topics of conversation included the political atmosphere at Wake Forest, Title IX regulations, geologic exploration and consultancy, job/career diversity in a financial crisis, pax’s first F3 workout, the historical chronology of neighborhood development west of downtown (West End, Ardmore, Boona Vista was the accepted order of development), EconTalk podcast, and an infamous F3 workout held in Toto’s backyard one morning. Great times!
