Virginia will be closed until further notice. Went out and got propane for the generator pellets for the stove. When I got home the power was off as was the internet so I am down to my droid razr and the the trusty Generac for power this screen is killing my old eyes so I'll talk to you Guy's when Sandy leaves. Look out Awsum she's headed your way. Everyone be safe...
Thanks for the coffee Awsum!
It's good to hear that you're holding up okay. It hasn't hit Blues hard yet, but this afternoon and tonight could be rough. Wonder how Uncle is doing. I don't think he had a chance to fly home. This weather system is a monster! At the moment, the eye is still 300 miles away from the coast and yet the cloud field has already reached me West of Indianapolis. The high winds are supposed to hit here soon. I hope that those in North Carolina and Virginia are okay today; and my thoughts are with all of you enduring this mess. Hang in there. And for Blues:
Hang in there! Glad you have a Generac so that you aren't without power. We'll be thinking of you.
Morin' . . . Still trying to wake-up and having coffee . . . .
First, I want to say - THANKS to everyone for their comments . . .
Well having been though these thing before - I knew better, but I was hoping that with all the "media hype" I am use to hearing in Florida - I would be able to get out before "Sandy" came to visit . . . Well I made the decission last night to change my travel plans after I "heard" how far the outer bands reached . . .
LONG STORY SHORT - after being disconnected at least 20+ x's calling US Airway on their regular number for four hours, I finally got an automated call from the Airline that my flight was being canceled and they gave me another number to call to change my reservation . . . WOW ! ! ! only a 4 minute wait and finally got a reservation agent . . . So I am staying with a Friend and her son in NYC till Wednesday (then to New Hope for the night) and have a "CONFIRMED"lol: 
) flight out of Philadelphia on Thursday night . . .
The REALLY GOOD THING is since I have been though these storms before I can help her out here . . . We have almost everything ready and what we need - however since I am now staying here, I have one quick shopping trip (extra water/food) in a little bit and before "Sandy" really hits tonight . . . So - so far all is good . . . And as long as there is elect I will stay in contact (But from one of my friends in the know - I heard last night that the Mayor here is trying to get ConED to shut down "the grid" at 2 AM so it will be easier to restart the electricity - Don't really understand this - but what the hey who can understand what this mayor does most of the time . . . )
Okay - I can't remember off the top of my head (other than "awsum") who else is around these parts - but I hope you all have everything YOU NEED and are going to be safe too . . . Let's all stay in contact . . .

Good to hear that you're hunkered down and safe, my friend! Blues is in the line of fire out in the sticks in PA. I hope all of you keep us posted, okay?
Hang in there Uncle, Bluesman and all the others who are in the path of the storm.
Little Penny Poo Poo is officially on anti seizure meds. Poor little thing is really uncoordinated at this point but she will probably get used to the meds within 2 or 3 weeks and be something closer to her normal self. We won't really know how effective the medication is for at least two weeks since that is how often we noticed the seizures prior to her going to the vet
It will take awhile for Penny to get acclimated to her new meds. Keeping my fingers crossed that she has no further seizures

Officer and Works HAVE be related !!!! NOT TWO OF THEM, SAY ITS NOT SO !!!!
That/s another good thing about county living,there are always dead trees to cut or trees that need thinning out
Just for the record anything that happens here is between consenting adults (anybody know what the age of consent is for Sheep?) and the sheep was here when I came to this morning so my guess is she was a party crasher, you know sheep are notorious for that around here!! As far as the lap dancing I do what ever It takes to keep the Little woman happy (she can be a little bit of a freak) No harm no foul! Awesum, Fishnets are not allowed around here because we run a upstanding joint, you should be ashamed, that's just disgusting! All I want to know is who put these fur lined handcuffs on me? those things are hard to type with, anyone got a handcuff key, I need to get to church sometime today. Raynes please do call 1-800- save a sheep because the last time this happened we ended up having to trade the sheep to a local farmer for a stump trained cow and we don't have room for anymore cows. all I need now is a boot jack and a handcuff key and maybe some makeup remover, then I could get on the Harley and go home, I'm just glad these parties only happen once a week because it takes two or three days for the welts from the riding crops to go down.
Dangles the handcuff key,is this what your looking for? Don't worry about getting to Church officer, we have a priest coming.

You changed your avatar and i can't find you easy....
How is it going? Need my special survival skills? I hope you all stay safe there.
Thank you to everyone for their well wishes? Raven
We are now in a steady rain and the wind has picked up. The wind gusts are quite strong. According to the tracker map, Sandy should be passing right through this place.
I will be in touch with Raven, she can keep you up to date on things.
Who knows, Jim Cantore might show up here. Or at least fly by in the wind.
