And we're supposed to get some of Irene's leftover rain up here in DC, which I hope sinks our drought talk of earlier this year even deeper into the mud! I found it somewhat amusing that all our weather reporters said we needed a tropical storm to end our drought...and then we got TWO! I hope they're satisfied...performing Maryland RenFest in the middle of Dennis was an interesting experience.

Meanwhile, we've got quakes out West too...nature's ganging up on both shores...
