Hurricanes are so hard to second guess. A little wobble in the path and it could miss you. You just have to prepare and hope for the best.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

This one is so huge, we'll get something.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My bro is flying in to DC tomorrow and is supposed to drive my niece to B.U. to move her into college. First day of her freshman year and she is beyond excited--hope she doesn't have to be late because of the storm.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Last I heard, we're expecting it Sunday night, so they may be able to more or less beat it. At least on the way up.

Saturday evening into Sunday is likely to be the worst here. If they can get out early on Sat or even Friday night, best. But still doubt it will be a fun drive.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Jesu Christo. Man, I hope this hurricane does minimal damage.

Because books.
I just saw a tweet from someone I know in NYC who said she's apparently in an evacuation zone of lower Manhattan, if it comes to that. I thought it was hitting farther out on Long Island, but I guess it's impossible to tell.

Holy crapballs. There was a crazy flood in 99 or 2000 that shut down a lot of the subway for the morning commute, but that was such a fluke. Also a mess. Although, hilariously, I got into the office about the time my coworker who lived nearby was calling in that she wouldn't make it.

Huh. Just lost a post. Weird.
I am driving back up to PA tomorrow since they've now ordered mandatory evac for visitors here (Del. beach) and are strongly suggesting that residents skedaddle. It's fine with me, but I just got back yesterday. Should have just stayed up there, but I haven't been home here since July 31st!
While I was gone I trashed my old laptop... which was probably more than five years old, so, it had a good life, and got a much lighter and peppier new one.
So, if my Nano has all my music, etc. on it, and I download iTunes to this computer, when I synch, will the Nano upload everything? I could probably google the answer. But, while I'm here, thought I'd ask.
