well... wind gusts are picking up... one just a minute ago rattled the dishes... but only briefly... now it is quiet... barometric pressure is dropping at a more rapid rate though... will be keeping an eye on things....

darn cell phone battery won't charge... gotta admit, the timing is perfect... guess I'll drive into Tallahassee and see if I can get a new one before it gets too bad..

i am surrounded by trees, Trees, and more TREES!! all that shade has a price..

hope Jeanne DOESN'T go into the GOM... it is kind of iffy whether it will go to the east or west of us... OR hit us dead on...

whatever we get, though, won't be near what central Florida has suffered... we lived at Satellite Beach when I was in jr high and high school... MSNBC was just showing pics and commentary on the damage there... I have family near Titusville, as well...
