CU, thanks for letting us know how you are preparing, etc. That goes for the rest of you, too. I am holding you all in my thoughts and good wishes for safety and protection for all of your concerns, both home and business.

As for Mr. Robertson...I am reading a very intersting book right now...The Tree of Knowledge by Eva Figes. It is written as thought the narrator is an old woman, on eof the daughters of John Milton. In one chapter, she is talking about Cromwell when she says, I think those who call themselves elect of God are prone to human error, being human. In this they chiefly err, not to confess it. Obstinancy in a lost cause is but foolhardy. We must consider why the cause was lost, not cling to idle dreams. And, another good quote, imo my emphasis: I have heard my uncle (Milton's brother) say, he would rather be ruled by a hereditary lord than be subject to the rule of saints, the self-elect of God, as he would call them.

Just a little interlude while you await the mighty winds and tears of Isabel...
