Wet and in Limbo

I was just going to say that it is wet here. It's been pouring rain all day. My basement is full of water but I will ignore it for now. It's happened before. Now I read that there's flooding all over town. Trains and busses are delayed (tracks and roads flooded); small parks are underwater. We're being told to say home. So I am.

Now for the limbo part: I've put off switching to the Blogger Beta. But now I sign on to post and am told "Your New Version is READY". As in: the time has come. Time to switch. So I click all the requisite clicks, fill in all the passwords and get a final screen that says something like this: It may take some time to update your blog. We will send an email to your G-Mail account when it's ready. Well, OK. But that was TWO HOURS ago. Seems it will still let me post here. Or not? Who knows whether or not this will show up? Let's try.
