Update on Hurricane Frances from The “West Coast”

Well, here it is Sunday morning, 10:00, and Frances is beginning to deliver us a few back-handed slaps.  In a few hours we expect a full face-pummeling that should last for quite some time, into the night and possibly tomorrow morning.

Took a walk outside and all my plants are doing the “Frances Wave.” Lots of small debris everywhere.  Little rain----still.  Hmmmm, very unusual.

They expect the eye to make its exit wound around midnight (she’s a slow mover) and with tropical storm force winds possible up to 80 miles from her center, it would be well into tomorrow morning before things settle down.

For that reason I re-scheduled my flight to South Dakota for Wednesday.  So if you thought you would be rid of my ranting and raving about politics and Fuckface in particular---so sorry, charley (pun intended!)

Your only respite from my verbal salvoes would be a power outage which I fully expect within a few hours and which will possibly stay out for a couple of days. So......I am making lots of ice blocks and storing them in a large cooler for when I need to protect my perishables and those of my parents.

But if power stays on I am getting some stuff currently in draft mode ready to unleash tomorrow.

Well, time to go take a walk around the homestead and make sure all is well.

Update From Allan:

According to this map, the storm should be over Vilmar’s head tonight and will be knocking on my door Wednesday afternoon, Vilmar, is Mother nature trying to tell you and me something? Is this another Al Qaeda plot to take us out? Or has the Democratic Party finally figured out how to manipulate the weather? Our highly skilled BMEWS conspiracy theorists are working on this as we speak. Stay tuned ....

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
