We're fine and dry, although it's humid as hell! Had Irene continued up the Gulf Coast, we would probably have had some good rain, which we need desperately. But it looks like the Carolinas are going to get hit. On the way to the getaway, I stopped in Rocky Mount, NC, to visit my cousin and family. They were very lucky because their house sits up high, but all over town people's belongings were heaped on the side of the road from having to muck out their homes after the floods. It was a sad sight. Thanks for the warm thoughts, though, because they're appreciated ... moonchild
