Something Wicked This Way Comes




Well, I am back home awaiting the arrival of Hurricane Gustav. Every time I look at the projected path, it looks like it is heading right at my home Parish. Thankfully, it is far enough inland to withstand 20 foot tidal surges. The biggest potential for damage will be the 130 mph wind, falling trees, and tornadoes.

When Hurricane Katrina hit three years ago, I lost electricity for eight days. It's no fun being in the Deep South with our sultry hot weather and to be without air conditioning. Ugh. Stinky times. 

I'll ride this storm out with my furry rugrats Boudreaux and Pierre. They sense Daddy is nervous, but they don't know why. They have been extra snuggly to calm my anxieties.
