     Now, you'll be like that meme, where there's a guy in the hospital   
   bed, with his head all bandaged up. The doctor walks into the room,   
   with a huge sealed up glass jar, full of musical notes...and he says   
   "Good news, Mr. Smith!! We got rid of that tune that was stuck in your   
   head!!" .   
      
    JK> Hey, hope that goes well, and I'm glad you were able to dodge that one!   
      
     There was an EF-1 tornado in west central Arkansas in the Fort Smith   
   area (12 so far this year, and I think our average is 33). Then, there   
   were large tornadoes near Atlanta and in the Carolinas...plus, the   
   Birmingham area got intense significant flooding. An automated weather   
   station showed near hurricane force winds near Hot Springs, heading   
   toward Little Rock. So, I thought we were in for it...but the storm   
   weakened slightly (still 60 mph winds) when it moved into the area,   
   but the worst of it went north of me.    
      
     Unfortunately, most of our severe weather occurs after sunset, and    
   especially overnight...so, many folks aren't even aware of it coming.    
   A few years back, the storms were so intense, that in the Little Rock   
   Metro Area (Pulaski County), there were 10 lightning strikes per second,   
   for a whole hour!! The thunder was nearly nonstop...and as expected,   
   there were widespread power outages. I think one strike hit a major   
   substation in the western part of the city.   
      
     With the frequent weather changes here lately, I've been dealing with   
   migraine sinus headaches...where I can't hold my eyes open for long   
   periods of time. I know it's going to take quite a bit of time to move   
   stuff into the cloud (which will eliminate downtimes from thunderstorms   
   or from outages via power or internet), but I want to be alert when the   
   moving of data is done.   
      
    JK> Yes, I saw that message as well... DOC's blaming my system for that..   
    JK> :( I guess I'm not allowed to have problems with the system when  all   
    JK> the available nodes (16) are "busy", while someone else decides they   
    JK> have to use FTP to grab every file on my system :(   
      
     Well, I have things to block the bots, and multiple concurrent connects...   
   such as a changing CAPTCHA code every 5 minutes around the clock, and things   
   to block things like "admin", "sysop", etc. -- but when you're popular, what   
   can you do??
