Ivan the Terrible

So, as of this morning, Ivan is still a Category 4 hurricane and heading for landfall not far east of me.

I will head home into the deceptively bright day, and board up my windows.

I would have had a day of work -- and I sure do need it -- but the office I temp at is oil rig related, and they're boarded up and quiet since yesterday.

I guess I'll put all the lawn and carport and patio stuff into the chain link kennel -- Ginger the red brindle bulldog has been gone since the spring, when I had to put her down, poor thing. Good thing we'd not gotten another pup yet.

I do not look forward to "bugging out" -- loading the family into that Escort and heading North. Not sure where -- just North. But, well, I will call it an adventure and hope the house is still here when I come home.
