OK - so we are in a state of Declared Emergency!!!
It is rather exciting I must say. I understand how people might think, "This is really cool! I am going to stay right here in my house and watch the 300 MPH winds go by because I am invincible!! The rain won't come in MY house. The wind won't take of MY roof!"
However, one must consider the possibility that the electricity might actually go off and you will not be able to watch "Dukes of Hazard" reruns while cars whip around your snug little abode. No electricity means that your beer will get warm in your 'frig and the whole experience will be one great big buzz kill. Bummer. Perhaps you should have gone with the nice National Guard people on their boat when they came by to pick you up. Hindsight is so 20/20.
We in Southern Maryland are not facing 300 MPH winds, only a deluge of an estimated one inch of rain per hour. I am prepared. There is the possibility that we might not have phones and that the cell phones won't work because of the storm system. Do not worry. We will be fine. We will call as soon as we can.
We are not watching Dukes of Hazard.

What are you watching? Did you stock up on food? Let's face it, we all know Steve cleaned a Wa Wa out of their selection of Hostess chocolatey goodness.
I am watching football as soon as it comes on - I am at work at the moment (clearly not working, but whatever).
Chocolatey goodness has been procurred in the event we are rained in for several days. I will have to dole the Ho-Ho's out as to not run out in the first 30 minutes. Suzy Q's are a standby if needed, but they are really like methadone in case of emergency.
Actually, the Bryantown Mall has the finest selection of Hostess products in Southern Maryland. Because of their sales volume, the stock is always fresh too. Incidentally, the Hostess Loutlet store is located just a quarter of a mile from the office and I can always zoom up there if needed. However, one must be careful with purple flames how often one's car is seen in the parking lot of the Hostess Outlet store. One might be perceived to have a habit which I clearly DO NOT! I can quit anytime I want to....chocolately goodness and all. Oops, gotta go, the Hostess truck just pulled into the CVS store next door to the office. Ernesto be damned!
Hope your hatches are battened, my sistah. Take care, keep the ladder to the roof handy!!
I see an intervention in Dad's future.
A 12 step program.
I'm thinking if the tv works so does the sewing machine! Hope all is well. Chocolate is a life saver, it is a proven fact.
I pray that the Ho-Hos do not run out.
