K Discusses
post-hurricane
plant rescue, down Florida way. She should come out here and water my inside plants, which I keep forgetting about till they have brown marks on the edges of their leaves. Very bad.
And now, unrecovered from the last two hurricanes, she and her spouse get ready for just an "ordinary" storm. I can't imagine how they're putting up with it. Of course, my husband has friends in the New Orleans area who have been living like gypsies for months—hopping from state to state as the threat levels change around.

Last night our neighborhood got a flash flood. But that's okay.
What really gets us here is what Wilma and friends do to the NOLA evacuees. Good Lord! We took in a number of them, sometimes as their thrid or fourth relocation. And once again, they got displaced. We understand this so well that it hits us like a punch in the gut.
Ditto for the animals. Broward County went for an exceptionally high number of NOLA rescue dogs and cats et al. While they've already found good homes for hundreds of them, for Wilma they had to send out a big bunch up to...Tennessee, I think it was?
So me, I go blithely on with my plant rescues, and with my high tolerance for stuff like little floods. Really, I'm having such a riot here. Just wait until you see my stack of plumeria pieces.
I'm not quite sure why the Plant Rescue Department activities hit our funnybones so hard. But they do, from perfect stangers to the neighbors who already know me. We hang around looking at it and giggle and giggle.
Must be a hurricane thang.

Hubris is Still Without Power.
Keep him in your thoughts. Fortunately, it looks like his kids are safe with their mommy in another part of Florida where the storm didn't hit.
And he has some feedback on solitary activities in severe weather. I believe he recommends a pack of cards.

But, of course, strip [believe it or not, folks, Attila's blog rejected the name of a game now appearing seemingly continually on TV, played with cards, having many forms, such as "draw" and "stud," as well as "Texas hold 'em," and which this bracketed statement replaces--Geesh!] in such situations can be unrewarding. For most of us.

Another test.....
Poor hubris! Too bad he doesn't have a fireplace. At least then he could bask in its warmth, and, emulating Lincoln, read by its fire, even hang his clothes up to dry. One can see him perusing some ancient tome of pregnant poesy, occassionally using the [metal rod for stoking a fire-that's right, rejected again-Geesh!] to spur the fire to better light, the better to illuminate the obscure passage.

Looks like
K is back up and running after 8 days. Apparently the early reports understated the damage she sustained. Yikes.
