Our day-after-thanksgiving in a nutshell.

We shake our fists at black Friday!
Or we would if we weren't being so lazy...

Hope you all had a restful day full of leftovers and pie.

The slippers.

Three days ago aunt Reagan gave the boy these slippers. Since then, he has only taken them off for bath and school—yes he wears them to bed—and of course, for school he only consented to take them off IF I let him wear them in the car and change into his boots at the very last minute.

Sigh.

The slippers.

FYI about the Nationwide Emergency Alert System test

Just wanted to make sure you were all in the loop. ❌⭕❌⭕

Just to make sure everyone is area of the nationwide emergency alert test on Wednesday:

On Wednesday, November 9, 2011, FEMA, EAS (Emergency Alert System), the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) and NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) will conduct the first ever National test of the Nationwide Emergency Alert System. This Nationwide test will kick off at 1:00 pm (CST) and run concurrently across all time zones.

This system test is the first of its kind designed to broadcast a nationwide message to the American public.  In the history of the country, nothing like it has been conducted on such a level.  There have been tests in the past, but not of this magnitude encompassing all regions of the Nation simultaneously.  The three (3) minute test will run simultaneously on all radio and TV band stations exceeding the previous messages broadcast which were anywhere from a 30 second to 1 minute message.

There is concern in local police and emergency management circles about undue public anxiety over this test.  The test message on TV might not indicate that it is just a test.  The fear is that the lack of an explanation regarding the message might create panic.  

Please share this information with your colleagues, tenants or residents, family and friends so they are aware of the upcoming test.

Below are a few websites that will provide more information:
