So, this new Hurricane Dean is headed straight for PR at the moment. Actually, it's still just a tropical storm at the moment. I am very curious because I've never experienced a hurricane before (except the remnants when they would make NC rainy for a few days). I'm also very nervous if the hurricane hits, there's absolutely no where to go (living on an island and all).
Joe's going to check out the generator this weekend just in case.
eta: oh, and we've never had cats, but there are tons of very savvy feral cats around here. They seem to do very well outside, but I guess I would be nervous if I cared about one of them as a pet.

YAY!!! And cutiehead Owen!

LoomyBob AdorablePants!

Cats yay.
Coyotes boo.
