This stupid storm was supposed to give us a sidelong glance and be done by this afternoon. Then I could hop on a bus and go to visit my folks in CB. But nooooo, Earl has to meander on the Eastern Seaboard and has decided to make almost a direct hit on Halifax, but not until later today. It's totally messing up all my best laid plans and back-up plans. Now I need a back-up back-up plan.
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Annoying, Sue! It's sunny here already, so Earl must really have slowed down somewhere along the line. Luckily, there wasn't anything major here at all. So that's good!

That is awesome.
I have that lemon ice cream! I still like coffee best.

Hooray! I just got an email from my CSA farm, which is down toward the Cape, where the storm was supposed to be worst. The subject line? "ALL IS WELL." Phew!

Sorry to hear Tino...er...Earl has decided to come at you guys. It was pretty much a bust around here, except for inducing panic (stores that sell bottled water and batteries probably made a killing). I swear the regular rainstorm we got last week was much worse. Not that I'm complaining, but I rearranged my weekend plans. I suspect everyone who didn't head north early for the weekend is probably doing so today, so I'll put off going to Maine until tomorrow. Luckily I took Tuesday off so that should avoid labor day traffic coming and going.

I will say, this is the kind of thing that makes people not evacuate.

It's on us now. Not too bad so far, lots of wind and rain. The mall a block away has lost power, but I still have mine.

Because books.
"ALL IS WELL."
I can never not hear Kevin Bacon saying that at the end of Animal House.
We're off to the farmer's market soon! It's so awesome -- fruit and veg picked this morning out in Lancaster, mostly on Amish farms. I hear today is free hot dog day, as well, which Sara is jazzed about.

I'd be jazzed about free hot dog day too.
Sorry Early is mucking up your plans.
Today promises to be swelter fest. no. good.

I just ate a bunch of chips for second breakfast. Why, Jesse, why??? I wasn't going to go to DSW today, but now I'd better, just for the walk.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Gonna hit the library today. Other than that, no plans.
