My father was the keeper of the Eddystone Light
And he slept with a mermaid one fine night.
From this union there came three,
Two little fishes and the third was me.

(or "A porpoise and a porgy and the third was me.")


Tornado siren went off a few minutes ago, and upon checking the weather, I think it might be a rough one here in North Texas. For those who follow such things, I'm on the south side of Fort Worth. If you look at the maps there is a circle around the city that is Interstate Loop 820. I'm about three blocks south of that and about a half mile west of I-35 (that intersects 820 just north and east of me), in case you're reading the radar. I'll set up a room if I have to bring in the dogs (that is a last resort!) and may have to sleep in the hallway. I have a futon pad I can pull in there and be comfortable (as long as the cats don't sleep right on top of me).
