Hunkering Down for the FrankenStorm

[puppetmaker]

Caroline doesn’t have school the next two days and I can say that I am happy about that. I wouldn’t want her to step toe out of the house unless it is totally necessary.

They are evacuating some parts of the town but not all the houses south of the railroad like last time. The high tide Monday/Tuesday is going to be the problem for the area with the storm surge on top of the full moon.

We have stocked food and water. We have batteries but we always have batteries because we need them for lots of things. I can make French toast if I wanted to, although I might make pancakes this morning for something different.

Best of luck to all my friends working at Penguin and Random House with the merger. I hope everyone I like keeps their jobs.

Not many cars out on the road but that’s a good thing. There is no where to go so no one is going which is better considering the wind out there. And this is not as strong as the wind is going to be.

Right now we have power, Internet, and cable. We’ll see where we are by the end of the day.

So everyone stay safe today. With luck I will be back tomorrow with what happens today.

I am grateful for having electricity, cable, and Internet.

Running water and flush toilets are also VeryGoodThings.

Much agreement here as I run the dish washer

Yes -- last year's flood destroyed many of the sewers in Minot, so many neighborhoods well OUTSIDE the flood zone had a porta-potty on every street corner!

So far so good here in Brooklyn, but I'm very glad I left IP. The forecasts look dire. Here's hoping the power stays on--here and with you.

Tonight, just now on the news, they were saying how you are essentially cut off now. I pray you are all safe.
