Is it just me or do black bars on the top and bottom of a TV screen actually look better than just filling the rectangle?

Ah that's where I've been going wrong.
Sister 1:
Being evacuated from her house on Wrightsville Beach NC today. They are going to go inland, all of about 10 minutes or so, to a friends condo. They have packed some water, fruit and snacks. My brother in law doesn't want to go too far, they just moved in to their brand new house on the beach last summer. I get it but get the frig out of there! Judging from her texts already today she's really scared, I so hope at least she and my niece go a few more miles (or states) down the road and leave my BIL behind. UGH
Sister 2:
Lives in Cary NC (Raleigh) with tons of huge trees and saturated land. She has enough supplies (and a new generator) to last 4 months I think and is still stocking. My niece is at UNC, she's going home. My nephew lives in the big city in a small apartment complex, he's going home.
Sister 2 told sister 1 to come to her house, but yeah, they won't and are staying close (so far). I don't see how they can be related and be so different LOL

Sounds familiar to me.
Everyone else in the family has pointed out (firmly and loudly) that the mud, water and yuck will be there whether they get back on the island the next day or a week later. She knows that but her husband (and I do like him) is a controlling jackass, so close they will stay with no supplies.
Anyone in the path, please, get the hell out. Don't wait for when (not if) you need to leave, because rescuers will not be able to get to you. 
Yeah, I have no idea what he's thinking and just hope he comes to his senses and gets his family to safety. This one is certainly nothing to be trifled with.
A weather guy up here was explaining how the terrain of the Carolina's differed from Florida or the Gulf Coast and it would exacerbate the inland rainfall as the storm front hits the mountains, in turn, making mudslides potentially worse. Scary stuff.

Looks very scary doesn't it? Keep safe folks!
Oh look! The Red Sox have won 100 games. 100. 
I think we're definitely into the typhoon season.
It's bogus @rootabaga , they didn't vote Olive Garden as the best Italian restaurant.

This thread idea is nothing new. It is however, useful.
Got a random thought that doesn't need a whole new thread dedicated to it? Post it here!
I'll kick it off.
.... Man, I love the SSH/Lynx combo. Take that, firewall!
How come the air quality has become to the point that you can see what you're breathing?
It's the only Mexican restaurant I've ever heard of, and only because Taco Bell featured(product placement?) in the movie Demolition Man.
Not many Mexican restaurants in this part of the world anyway.
Well the Taco Bell in Demolition Man wasn't exactly like the Taco Bell of today, to say the least. 
But it certainly was brilliant product placement-
Taco Bell is about as Mexican as US Chinese restaurants are Chinese.

I orginally found it on accident, but it is good to know how long the comic been up on line.
I am made out of apple pie.

How many countries monies disappeared when the Euro conversion happened? I'm guessing 20.
