My kids are on yet another snow day, so I’ll pretend that’s why I don’t have the next presidency post ready to go. Rest assured, I’ll have it for next week. The topic will be how the shift from conventions to primaries shaped the character of the presidency.

Yay snow day! I don’t even have snow!Report
@burt-likko
My offer stands. You can have as much of ours as you want to take. Please.Report
James, I will send you some sympathy now if you will reciprocate when we have a huge flood in a couple of months.Report
Floods, I’ve been through that. You’ll get plenty of sympathy from me. Where are you?Report
We live a few miles north of Baton Rouge and few miles east of the Big Muddy. I am not looking forward to a ten inch rain while there is still lots of snow on the ground up north.Report
Yeah, I hear you. We’re finally starting to get a warm up, so there may be a big melt over the next week. I hope you have contingency plans.Report
It would take a mighty flood to get to us. Not only is our house a tad higher than average for this area, when we built the army core of engineers goofed on the flood level and made us build two feet higher than needed.
We got our warm up day before yesterday. It is going to be in the high 70’s today.Report
Then I hope you have a “zombie war” contingency plan to keep the neighbors from all simultaneously seeking refuge at your house.Report
We have two protections against zombies. First, my wife majored in theater and knows makeup. It would take about an hour to turn everyone into “Shaun of the Dead” extras. Two, We would be happy to take all our neighbors that needed a dry place. If we get hungry, all that is needed is a boat to get to an island filled with deer and a gun to kill some.Report
You’re my kind of neighbor. I mean, other than the fact you live 1,000 mile away.Report
