Another non-hurricane

So far so good w/ Tropical Storm Fay. Yesterday she looked like a direct descendant of Hurricane Charlie, but overnight she just continued to grind along and didnʻt blossom into something more powerful, thank goodness.  The tv weather people are continuing the hysteria of course, and granted, we could get some pretty hairy weather yet to come, but as long as the winds stay below 60 -70 mph, Iʻm not going to get too excited. 

Weʻll probably get a heavy load of rain, but thatʻs manageable. Our backyard is already squishy. The cats still insist on going outside, but are sorry once theyʻre out there. (Ewww, this is WET.) If we get the predicted rain, theyʻll have to swim across to the flower bed where the lizards are.

Iʻm at work today. If the weather deteriorates, Iʻll head home early-- but thereʻs a lot to be said for these days when most people stay home. Light traffic and a quiet work day-- not so bad.
