"Alexa, tell me about my notifications."
The bot proceeded to inform me that the National Weather Service had issued a wind advisory for the area for the following day.
I scoffed internally. I didn't remember the NWS issuing advisories for rain, wind, fog and the like when I was a kid, after all.
This morning I awoke from a dream of being stuck in a test bay behind a General Electric turbofan that was being spun up to hear a sound outside the house that tells me I should probably step outside after I'm dressed to check that all shutters, shingles, and tree branches are where I last saw them yesterday.
