being concerned for their safety and the safety of others. The

this point are more predictions of the wrath of God, your thanks to various
deities that you're not attending the event, or any other commentary to convince
people to stay home. Fact is, we're hosting our Baronial event this
weekend, and the attendees are big boys and girls who can take the weather data
into consideration and make their own choices. Make whatever personal
plans you will, but let's not give the rest of the kingdom the impression that
our own populace is backing out.</SPAN></FONT></P>
