I should be back home this afternoon or evening. Please check in and know I'm thinking of all y'all and probably feeling a bit hung over and dragged out - the events are supposed to last until near dawn and what with having to be at work by 6:00 am, I am no longer the night owl I once was.
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It's also so we can find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. Members come here to check in. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
I'll post a diary with pics from the event. It's a costumer's weekend, so we're spending it learning new sewing techniques and sharing resources for fabrics and such.
In the meantime, here are some more sunrise photos - I took them just for you:
