The civil defense sirens are sounding.  Which must mean one of the following:
1. A large tornado is right this instant bearing down on Oktibbeha County (that's right, we're the original OC).
2. air raid.
3. The dead have woken and are stumbling around downtown Starkville, marauding City Bagel and Erin's Salon.
4. The first shot has been fired.  We are for sure seceding this time.
5. The intern just started pressing buttons at random to see what would happen.
6. tsunami!
7. giant eagles!
8. The fire station just had its 1 millionth customer.
9. a bank run (the state pension fund collapsed?).
10. The chickens have turned on their keepers.  The poultry science school is under attack.

So, because there's something pitiful about spending the last minutes of one's life working on a lecture about the Gregorian Reforms of the Catholic Church, I think I'm going to go get myself a bowl of ice cream and goof off for a bit.  Maybe call my loved ones...
