mad about

The Oakland A's losing their home because the city wouldn't bow down to (and pay) a billionaire. I'm mad at the billionaire, not the city. And sad.

A bellringer I don't know personally should enter the AITA listings. I sent an email of general concern for the ringers in the path of the hurricane to a list of North American ringers. The only response I got was from someone in Charleston, SC, which was not in fact in the major path, making snippy remarks about how people in Charleston know how to deal with hurricanes but people in Atlanta don't. WTF? I am actually worried more about the people in Hendersonville, NC, because parts of that area are just gone now. The church's Facebook account yesterday posted that the office was shut due to "inclement" weather.
