We’ve completed our preparations for Hurricane Irene and are getting periodic waves of rain, some of it light, some of it heavy, from the outer arms. Although we’ve taken this as seriously, I’m concerned about the number of windows we have at the new house. I haven’t boarded them up. For one, nobody has suggested doing that around here yet. Second, they’re double paned tempered glass and should resist breakage well and, if they do break, shouldn’t pose a threat. Third, holes in the exterior walls of this house would pretty much ruin the exterior. Still, although I’ve cleared the yard as much as I can, and we’re both on the side of a hill and inland, anything is possible.  

I’ll report in as I can. In the meantime, here’s one of my favorite songs.
