there is a small thread hanging off the world

Any Sox fans got advice for abbergails? She's looking for the best/cheapest way to get tickets to see a game here this summer.

My uncle has been living in a nursing home in Beaumont, TX. To the best of our knowledge, he's been safely evacuated, but we don't know to where.

My cousin from NOLA, who had been in Galveston, TX, has had to evacuate again. He did have a chance to check his home in LA and confirm they lost everything - the location of the house he was building is apparently now an empty slab. But I think he now wants to move to someplace like Chicago.

I need to get my father a flu shot before Monday afternoon (when he leaves the country for 3 weeks). He's 73, diabetic, had a pacemaker installed in August, had two stents put in on Monday, and had pneumonia twice last year. He can prove residency in MA, but all public clinics have been cancelled until MA can inventory and re-distribute the vaccine. He's currently in VT, but VT isn't giving any shots at all until they figure out where they stand with supply.

Anyone got any ideas how I can get this done?!
