Petty and small-minded

Hey, Fat Wizard has just taken unseemly joy in telling an obnoxious FBI agent mage that said agent is not on the need-to-know list.

What goes around comes around, ya know.

Meanwhile, the wind has finally died down (gale warnings along the coast for two days) and the temperatures are heading up toward freezing. Prospect of snow tonight, changing to sleet and freezing rain by morning, then heavy rain tomorrow. Wonder if the NWS has lifted their flood watch yet?
