Batten Down the Hatches!
I hope everyone survived last night’s pounding.
Maybe it’s just me, but despite his lesser billing, I thought Dennis put on a better show than Charley, Francis, Ivan, or Jeanne. Not realizing how serious it was going to get, we started out the night sleeping with the windows open. Say it with me in your best Napoleon Dynamite voice, “Freakin’ IDIOTS.” There were a couple times last night when I woke up and thought, “Hmmm, there weren’t branches in front of that window earlier today,” only to realize that the trees in my yeard were deep in the throes of a late-night, wind-fueled yoga class with Instructor Dennis.
Thankfully, this morning, everything is still standing.

I actually drove down to Florida on Sunday and it was WILD!!! I stopped one time in a rest-stop which had TVs in the place. Apparently I had just missed a tornado tracking up 75 about 1 mile from where I was driving. I’m starting a vacation in Barbados today and of course there is Tropical Storm Emily heading that way- Barbados has not had a hurricane in something like 50 years. Will be watching the weather channel a lot during my trip I guess.
