UPDATE: Doug returns from Ida-induced absence

[dougmorrisontheair]

Greetings, all.



In my neighborhoods, we're preparing for Tropical Storm Ida. This far inland, it's expected we'll see lots of rain, high winds, and a possible tornado or two.



Ahead of the storm, it's best to do this...



\ On A Roll: Pause the game after the current round of dice rolls (round's nearly done as of this writing).


\ $40,000 Chain Reaction: Untimed downs for Frank, our newly crowned champion, since he's currently playing the final chain.



\ Lucky Numbers and Spin-Off: New episodes will start ASAP.



\ And if I'm a player in your game, if you can, please put it on hold for me.


Thanks for understanding,
-D.M.

Stay safe brother!  Dang, this year with weather has been the pits.

On A Roll is now at a point we can pause the game.

The final chain on The $40,000 Chain Reaction continues with Frank's "untimed downs".

We around here didn't take Henri lightly this time last week even though it turned out to be nothing in my area. Can't say the same for southern New England, however. Stay safe, Doug.

Ouch! I'm so sorry Doug, my thoughts and prayers go to you all. Stay safe...

Greetings, all.

For the most part, my neighborhoods have dodged a bullet from Ida. Obviously, the same cannot be said for Louisiana. This moderator recommends making a cash donation to the American Red Cross (www.RedCross.org).

Barring a surprise, I'm planning to return to NGC around 6 p.m. Central-ish.
