ParticipantOH GOD CHANGE WHY GOD WHY *shakes in the corner*
Actually it looks great. Thanks for all the hours of work I’m sure you’ve had to sacrifice to give us a place to blargj about.
ParticipantWell there’s always going to be SOMETHING upcoming in astronomy, can’t delay forever 😛
ParticipantThis is mah berfday!
ParticipantBetter late than never right?
ParticipantI like Seasons Greetings personally but I don’t have any ideas for it yet 😛 so another classic theme that would be conducive to archive diving would also be fine. For Farkstronomy, I can go either way. Usually January is a high participation month, so I’d avoid doing it then in favor of themes that would be more likely to inspire wide liter participation. If there’s a big celestial event in February or March that might be a good time.
ParticipantI don’t know that we’ve really had a grain discussion on Farktography but for this contest I’m totally cool with grain.
/2 cents
ParticipantAlso also wik there was kind of this big storm that happened last week. Dunno if you guys heard about it. But it knocked out power in a lot of places and they even cancelled Halloween in New Jersey so that plus the fact that holiday week contests usually get lower voter turnout because people are doing things makes this not really concerning to me.
Frankly I wouldn’t be surprised if the whole internet had a downturn the second half of last week with NYC and NJ and CT residents unable to surf like normal.
ParticipantI liked it.
ParticipantYeah sometimes they have to turn off power in sections in order to work on other lines.
ParticipantWell it’s prime trick or treating hours in most of the country so I’d guess that’s where people are. We’ll probably have a large amount of entries tomorrow.
ParticipantWyoming is absolutely an incredible place. Just on I-80 there’s some really cool things as far as forts and random sculptures and stuff.
ParticipantExcept where I grew up, if you left your lights off or didn’t answer the door and had decorations in the yard, those decorations were toast by the time you got home/next day.
ParticipantI think QueenBee is probably the most affected other than ennuipoet. On FB she was the first to report power loss and hers isn’t back on yet but I didn’t see her say anything else dramatically terrible had happened.
It’s damn cold now though. I want my 80 degree October back!
ParticipantEveryone here freaked out, schools are all closed tomorrow. Governments closed tomorrow. Coastlines are getting hammered but inland it’s been okay. Less than 8000 in Virginia have lost power and crews are out restoring it already. As of 11 pm we have power still. Rappahannock is supposed to crest tomorrow at 19 feet (vs. its normal 2 ft) and hearing the Potomac may crest in excess of 35 feet. Apparently the eye went about DC and NYC is getting the worst of everything. Temperature is dropping, saying we may get light snow.
ParticipantI’m sure the road down by the Rappahannock is flooded by now which means no traffic down our road (it floods when it so much as sneezes rain). Starting to get intermittent gusts up to 30 mph. I can’t believe how early they shut down the Metro in DC. Was talking with my lawyer friend yesterday who works there as he was down to help on the new house and he was saying his worst fear about the storm was going to work tomorrow and then not being able to get home because they closed the Metro. At least he had that problem fixed for him.
