Just doing a few of the usual things to prepare for whatever the weather brings. Too early to know yet how much effect Sandy will have on the other front that's coming through. The hurricane makes its own decisions on which path to take.

So, as usual, we're prepared. Just put a few more of those blue ice thingies into the freezer to fill up any gaps. We have plenty of water, batteries, charged flashlights, car charger for cell phone (but the cell phone doesn't work in our neighborhood and, if we lose power, we'll lose the phone through Comcast), full tank of gas in the car, plenty of food and drink. I'm going to batten down a few more things on the deck and bake some more banana bread.

Can't think of anything else that needs doing (to prepare for the storm, at least).
