Gotta confess---I am really excited. Not about the prospect of damage and harm to so many people and places, but about the power of nature--And with an organized system like a hurricane, it is no wonder that we tend to give them names and personalities. Although the eye of Isobel is still a good 300 miles from me, we are beginning to get a little wind. The rain started about an hour ago. And to think that my sister, Annie, who is 350 miles away from me on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, and Bobert, all the way up in Harper's Ferry, are hunkering down to go through the same storm---Wow!!!

Kinda puts us homo-sapiens in our place, (All exceptin' Pat, of course.
