LB, has Boudreau made any suggestions?
I'd pay attention to what he thinks.
"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Tallulah Bankhead: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me."

"When all other trusts fail, turn to Flashman." — Abraham Lincoln.

"I have enjoyed very warm relations with my two husbands."
"With your eyes closed?"
"That helped."  Lauren Bacall

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

I think some of y'all are missing the point of what sustained 60 mph winds and high amounts of precipitation will mean on the ground. I know that when the power goes off (not if) the challenges this will present for the average folk will be be .... challenging.

I feel for those who need regular medical service - like dialysis patients and elderly - this will be a stressful/bad time.
My doctor wrote me a prescription for daily sex.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

I'm good with about everything except gas. I have 5 gal in the garage and a full tank (20 gal)in the van but that's it. The stations around here are just about empty though I think most will get a refill tonight. The lines are nuts. I may try to head out early tomorrow if needed to fill up a few 2 gal tanks I just found under some junk in the garage since I'd hate to have to start siphoning off gas from the van to the generator if I'm out of power more than a few days. I've got enough meds for my son to last a month and my bbq tank is full. I've got enough food and about 10 gal of drinking water though we don't usually lose water here as the local water co has huge pressure tanks just 1/2 mile from my house. One never knows though. :(

Re: winds- not much I can do about it myself. The water is a concern since my street ends at the local boat launch. Luckily my end is much higher than that end. It's also part of a sheltered harbor as well as extensive marshlands nearby to catch part of any sudden surge. The local State Park's beaches are probably toast again though. I really like that place too. :'(

Anyone else near a shoreline?

Good luck to everyone through the storm. Especially those like JH out helping others.

Amen.

Boudreaux has just eaten. He and Max are now sitting in his mom's lap, resting his head on his toy. They don't appear too worried. Probably because they know I picked up some beef jerky this afternoon just in case I got extra hungry during the storm.

do you know how I know your gay?
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Don't be hatin'. Both of them are far smarter than you'd think, and Max hunts snakes for fun. ;)

Don't worry - he's probably think yours is a worm, so you're safe.

My family's big coup was getting a generator running off the natural gas line so I didn't have to stock up on diesel, etc.

Excellent. That's a solid setup.

Woke up this morning to the heavy winds picking up.  NJ is in a state of emergency, schools around here are closed, my wife just got a call telling her that her work is close but I still have to drive to work this morning.   >:(

It looks like the heavy rains and sustained winds will start after noon today around here.
