Hurricane Irene was mighty, but, for here at least, not as bad as hurricane Isabel in 2003. The wind was up, but not at the same sustained level (like Isabel) so we had less damage and power was off for maybe 3 hours during the storm. Thanks for all the well wishes!

My friend Susanne let us stay at her cabin and we played Yahtzee. I enjoyed it immensely. My cabin mates? Not so much. I am good at Yahtzee (apparently.)
Yes, back on the unemployment line, living off the state. And all he can see at the hiring time is the light on the cobber pine. (Or something like that.). And no, the people at the unemployment office do not give a rat’s heinie how you feel about it.
