Yes, they're calling it "Frankenstorm."
You know it's odd when CT is preparing for its second hurricane in 14 months and my family in TX hasn't had any. Pop has even called to check in about the "perfect storm."
Last year at this time, we had snow.
And no one is talking climate change this election cycle!
So, I'm heading out to the store for batteries, bread, and peanut butter (for us; the kids won't touch it.) We have water, a corded phone, and gas in the cars.
The kids just want to know what will happen to Halloween!

Weather the Weather
Today's weather--60s and overcast--has been a wonderful salve after weeks of 90Fs. And tonight the low is 59F.
And as much as I appreciate the drop in temperatures, the gulf of 30ish degrees between the two--plus record droughts out west, record rain in the UK, record heat all over the US--brings climate change to the fore. We do the average as far as environmentally-conscious practices go, but I can't help but feel it really doesn't matter if I recycle one more can in light of such ecological disaster. Sure, I'll keep doing it, but it seems like the proverbial drop in the dirty bucket.
