NBC released a report recommending that we keep refrigerator doors closed, and Xi Jinping chuckled at a picture of an autopen. A big nor’easter is pounding the northeast, while Hurricane Polo is headed for the Baja peninsula and Hurricane Nolo is about to whack Hawaii.
I probably missed some things, but we can cover those and more at Porch Time tomorrow. Be there or be equilateral rectangle.
