Just  when we think its over (hurricane season) a rebel forms in the lower Caribbean sea.  A rebel named Ida.  Looks like we all are going to be batting down the hatches on the northern gulf coast.  Some of the models are predicting a landfall near the southern tip of Baldwin County, my county, and so we prepare.  At least if the power goes out (right - if), when the power goes out, it won't be sweltering outside and we will survive without the need to deal with the excessive heat while we clean up afterwards.

   Joy.  Personally, its the perfect end to a frustrating year.  2010 can't get here soon enough for me.  Ya'll keep us in your warm thoughts.  And I'll keep you all posted.
