HURRICANE!
MoreWell, we had hurricane Isabel come through last night, and we’re none the worse for wear. As I understand it, there’s trees down all over the DC area, and power and traffic lights out… but I haven’t seen it yet. I’m still at home all comfy and warm, with power and DSL. Mmmm…

Illegal Art and Threadgill (and Shag)
