Irene, Good Night...

So far, so good regarding the hurricane. I thought for a time this afternoon we were going to get rain from the feeder bands, but we didn't, even though the sky grew quite dark.

So it looks like the Weather People are correct. We're going to be "breezy" here, and that's all. Having been through Hugo, this is more than fine with me.

So take care, everyone -- especially those of you in Irene's path -- and stay safe. An earthquake and a hurricane in the same week is a bit much, don't you think?
