Hurricane!

    I've been spending a lot of time lately blogging away on "Strides" and enjoying the fresh taste of it quite a bit. It feels as though I've been a little neglectful of "Neanderings", however,  so I've sort been on the lookout for a good blog topic for here.
   I've been wandering around, going what to write about, what to write about, what is there that's kind of new and different? And then a hurricane hits, Hurricane Sandy actually, like from God, or something!


 

   Well, at least it's supposed to hit here pretty soon. It's just before six o'clock in the evening and the wind's getting pretty strong. The main part of whatever is left of the hurricane is supposed to rear its head here late this evening. It's also supposed to stick around for awhile, which I guess is a little unusual and a little more concerning as well.


...carry the groceries in a hurricane!

You should really help your wife...

   We feel we're at least a little prepared which means, to us, that we ran the dishwasher, so that we would have something clean to eat our uncooked food off of, in the event of a lengthy power failure. Hopefully, this will get us through...
   Right now it's just a little after eight o'clock in the evening, it's dark and the wind has picked up tremendously. On Facebook, friends of friends on the eastern seaboard are already without power. A friend of mine earlier on had his patio umbrella fly out of its base, smashing the glass table top. I can only imagine that, in this area, there will be many, many more stories like this. Of course, I'm hoping this is as serious as it gets, lots of destruction is nothing to make light of.
   At this point, Hurricane Sandy is no longer a hurricane and has been downgraded to a bad storm. A real bad storm, from looking at the video. I went out a little while ago to try and get some pics or video but nothing doing, just too dark. Maybe in the morning, if I'm not looking for my car...
