Probably more than enough written about the hurricane, but considering that I'm situated such that I can simultaneously watch out the window and on TV, I guess it's the main thing going.
It's raining right now. I'm not a fan of rain. I am, however, a fan of living on top of a hill rather than in the lower elevations. I can see water streaming down the street, headed for some neighbors' houses. We get a bit in the basement, but that's about it.
I realized last night that I'd bought this little thing called a power inverter so that we can plug things into a regular outlet in the car. I had one made for airplanes and charging computers, but when that got lost, I bought a more standard one, which apparently is made for camping. Not rustic camping, mind you, but camping where you want to run a refrigerator and a TV. So all I have to do is hook this puppy up to my car and we'll have at least some power so we can watch TV while we eat tuna out of a can.
Part of me is glad this isn't snow but part of me would like to see the 4-8 feet you'd get with this amount of precipitation.
I'd actually like to go out for a walk in this, just to experience it. And I probably would except that I'm afraid of a branch falling on me. We live in a stone house with no trees large enough to even reach the roof around, so I'm thinking we're going to be pretty devoid of drama here. Maybe devoid of electricity as well, but I'll take that trade-off.
What the hell were those 17 people doing out on the (replica) HMS Bounty today? And now, to paraphrase Louis CK, of course the Coast Guard has to go out and save those people, but maybe, just maybe, they deserve what they're getting.
On a related note, we got an email from the school saying that students are writing in and asking what's going to happen with with tests that were scheduled for today. Part of me finds this funny and part of me finds it terribly sad. I'd also like to invite anyone who feels like they really need to take a math test to drop by and I'll make one up for you.
