I was right, Lakewood was flooded.

There was a guy on a video on the church's facebook page that said why Lakewood couldn't be used earlier... because all of the roads leading to it were flooded and impassable. Joel never actually said the church was flooded, and that's what angered everyone. Now that the waters have subsided the roads are passable again and so lakewood is now a shelter and people are pouring in.
 
They showed videos of parts of Lakewood that was flooded.

The sign outside a seller of bottled water had the following: "Are you alkaline or acidic?"
The response I would give: Neither. I'm sarcastic.

A question regarding your signature line, which exposes my shocking ignorance on the subject...

Could you recommend some music which prominently features the viola (rather than the violin)? I'm familiar with Baroque violin pieces like Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, Celtic and Country fiddling, and movie themes like Schindler's List... but I come up empty on anything specifically for viola.
 
Here's just a start of music. Didn't feel like jotting all of it down, otherwise you might be overwhelmed.

Hey, we must not overwhelm the newby. Also, have you heard that many of the major of the classical composers actually perfered the viola to the violin as their main instrument to play. Not sure how true this is, but supposedly Mozart was one.

I play drums, percussion, and guitar, and grew up hearing my parents' classical music. Thanks for the "Liszt". I'll listen later. :)

Poulenc said he didn't like solo violin but tutti ones, I think. And.. GOSH. The beginning of Brahms. Deutche Requiem. No violins allowed. Only violas. Extremely beautiful.

I was married, by accident, to a violinist. Never liked them. Too posh and self centered. Thinking they would become the next Paganini. I didn't know before I was already fallen in love with him. Luckily I managed to convince my son to play viola. Many of the violist I know also compose. So does my son. Haven't heard that about Mozart. Sounds strange though. No Viola concert and four (?) Violin ones.
 
You typed all this out? If so Ida given you a rep

I'm facing a dilemma and I'm not sure how to proceed. Research has led me to information I think would be very useful to make a certain over-arching point, but doing so would be the equivalent of telling 40 years worth of researchers that they've been "doing it all wrong". There should be some sort of novelty and uniqueness in what I produce, but I'm not sure if even I am bold enough to make that contribution be a manifesto declaring that problems are conceptualized, researched, and pondered in a way that serves only to perpetuate endless research instead of finding actual answers to the questions so we can all move on to looking at other things.

Certainly I can't be the only person in the last 40 years that sees what I see, and I wonder if those other people faced this same dilemma and just decided to toe the line so they wouldn't place their academic/professional career aspirations in jeopardy. Part of me is just wondering how far I am wanting to jump past these arbitrary lines drawn in the metaphorical sand.
 
Like I said, I wasn't to sure about some of what I heard. And as for violin players. The fiddlers are cool, but you are right about the classical violinist, many do come across as way to full of themselves. Violist on the other hand are just awesome.
