Internet fail and historic fires

The internet's been hopping up and down -- mostly down -- all night, so I gave up on my attempt to catch up with everyone's posts/tweets/pronouncements and went back to work on my hisory of the Albion Fire Department.  The working title: Smoky Days and Sleepless Nights: A Century or So With the Albion Fire Department.

If a Ben Linus shows up, I'm outta here

Okay, all you Lost fans, how worried should I be?  I'm now being followed on Twitter by a balding, older guy named John Locke. Would it be best if I avoided taking any airplane flights in the future?


Oh, wait -- never mind, this one's a mystery writer.  *whew*
