I don't know about Pooh, but I live just a few miles down the road from him and we still have power. The wind is really picking up, but we're doing alright at the moment.

Thanks for that--I know that the eye is still making landfall in a few locations (well, duh, obviously..) and that of course, the second half is typically actually worse than the first, plus the storm surge, etc. I appreciate you letting me know, and I hope you folks are all okay.

I forget which town it is, but OF COURSE, some folks stayed, and are now stranded in flooded houses, and OF COURSE are calling for F&R to come save their @$$es. Those fire and rescue folks are better beings than I; with so many days' warning to get the hell out...(shakes head). (I grew up on the E. Coast and survived many a hurricane--was caught out in a real doozy once, ON A BOAT, so...my theory of hurricanes is, get the Hades out of the way!)

Wow - they're good! Hope it stays on, and you-all stay dry.

Nothin' sorrier looking than a wet chicken.

Unwinding from helping my son with his math homework. The universe is getting even with me for never having done my homework when I was in school.

I hope you guys stay dry, too! Good luck!

Still doing ok here. Power is on, with the occasional gut wrenching flicker. Today more rain and wind.

Same here. We moved our car a few blocks away (and up) as our neighborhood has a history of flooding.

Good to hear you're both okay.

Stay safe guys.

Attempting to clean my tablet's screen (I recently purchased this on ebay) by breathing over it repeatedly and rubbing in small circular motions with a microfiber cloth. There seems to be lots of glue residue on it. Fun.

Just rooted the tablet and installed the Kit Kat.

Tidying up my rooms. Next week we'll most likely to be able to pick up two kittens at the animal shelter. In the past weeks they either only had males (we've always had female cats) or female cats that weren't good with kids. Though the kittens will be kept upstairs in the beginning we know that they're eventually going to be allowed in the store and cats that can deal with kids is a must. Next week two kittens will become available from their foster parents and they'll give us a call when they arrive at the shelter. Apparently one is a bit shy, but you can still pick her up. All our previous cats were very different in personality, so one that's a bit shy is not a problem.

I have an Ikea Kallax shelf set as bedside table. Earlier in the year Ikea introduced their pet product, which include an insert cat house for the Kallax. I've emptied one of the shelves, it was my junk shelf so it was needed anyway, and put in the cat house (really more of a cat cubicle). I also put an old, folded up fleece blanket next to my pillow, creating another sleeping spot.

I really hope we can adopt next week; not only am I really looking forward to having cats again, but after weeks of relatively quiet I've been hearing a little visitor in my room again for the last couple of nights. It will be nice to get rid of those, too.
