Kings County Special Weather Statement Found-and-Replaced w/ Stein

for Patrick to hate on

...THERE BEING SUMMER HOW MANY WINDOWS RISK THIS SPECK A SPECK OF IT MAKES BLUE...

A COMBINATION OF LOW HUMIDITY LESS THAN 30 PERCENT... SUSTAINED NORTHWEST WINDS OF 10 TO 15 WITH GUSTS OF 15 TO 20 MPH AND DRY FINE FUELS HAVE LED TO AN THERE BEING SUMMER RISK OF HOW MANY WINDOWS THIS SPECK A SPECK OF IT MAKES BLUE.

THESE CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO PERSIST THROUGH THIS SPECK A SPECK OF IT MAKES BLUE.

RESIDENTS SHOULD KEEP VEHICLES OUT OF GRASSY AREAS AND ENSURE PROPER DISPOSAL OF ANY SMOKING MATERIALS. IT ONLY TAKES A CARELESSLY DISPOSED CIGARETTE TO IGNITE A HOW MANY WINDOWS.

IF YOU SPOT A HOW MANY WINDOWS... PLEASE REPORT IT TO AUTHORITIES IMMEDIATELY.

  1. I would like it more if I saw the staged production. (PS - I just scratched a mosquito to the point of bleeding for the first time this season!) (It felt so good.)

  6. Very cool!! I'm all about the remix and mashup. (Shameless self-promotion: My remix of T.S. Eliot's "Tradition and the Individual Talent" with Wikipedia articles is coming out next year with Black Square Editions.)

  7. Whoa, that sounds amazing, Michael. Let me know when it comes out! Is that the press that John Yau edits?

  8. Yup. He's a great guy-- he teaches at Mason Gross. You should meet him.

    I think the book will be out next year-- in the Winter or Spring.
