Thanks... The bloody hurricane has kinda stalled. Looking at the various radar sites, I find Arthur to be the oddest storm I have ever seen on radar. Northern half of Maine and all of NB but NOwhere else??? Not bad here but I see one helluva lotta rain in Maine. It's pretty windy but the wind is forecast for this evening. 60 with gusts to 90 kph so it ain't bad.

Even though it's not going to be bad, Mum is upset that it could get worse than it is. I try to calm her down with calls and updates but she is still on edge. It gets to the point that if I don't call enough or call too often, she gets agitated so I try to find reasons for contact. Earlier, I paid some bills and brought them to her. I changed plans in the supper menu on a ruse of the burger still being too frozen. I shall call again in a while and ask her about a cookie recipe, ask her who she thinks will win in the World Cup today... etc.
