and the hits just keep on comin'

[anotheranon]

Hot on the heels of Tuesday's earthquake, Irene is about to grace us with her presence this weekend. At this point it's not a question of "if", but "how much", and given [electric company name redacted]'s frail performance last summer I'm erring on the side of caution and accepting we'll probably lose power for awhile.

I stopped off at the grocery today (see how I'm thinking ahead?) and picked up bread, peanut butter, canned soup and crackers and other food that doesn't need a refrigerator. If it looks really dire I may bake on Saturday before it hits, as baked goods make blackouts better.

Meanwhile, off to do laundry and watch True Blood.

Y'all take care of yourselves, ok?

Stay safe! This could be a nasty-ass storm on the way.

I really hope there are no more power cuts in your neck of the woods. I want to say something about the reliability of electric companies in NoVA and the rest of the DC Metro area, but I don't want to jinx anything.

Man, I thought I left hurricanes behind when I moved from FL.

I'd love to chat with you about True Blood if you get a chance.
