Well, damn. Hurricane Jeanne is now going to come right over me. In mere hours. And it won't be a tropical storm, as they were predicting last night. It will be a full-on hurricane. My mom called at 6 a.m. to wake me up, so I could prepare. I've got the water jugs filled, the dishwasher is running, and I'm about to go take a shower. Must take advantage of electricity while I have it.
The witching hour is supposedly around 10 a.m. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Well, except a building. But let's not go there.

I just saw a pigeon blown sideways as it tried to fly off over the lake.
The ducks were just up under the tree begging for food, but I told them to get down to the water so they'd be safe. And they actually listened to me.
