Storm rising

[mdlbear]

Just got off the phone to my Mom, who lives in Naples, Florida. As it turns out, she's south of the predicted path of Hurricane Charley, which hits landfall around Tampa Bay, so she's not in the area being evacuated. She has flood and hurricane insurance, though, and has things pretty well in hand around the house: lanai furniture either taken inside or sunk in the pool; things like that.

I seem to have missed updating my LJ for the last week, which has been moderately eventful. I'll try to catch up later.
