Sandy is announcing her arrival with some vigor, howling winds, driving rain. The animals are all tucked away. Minnie is in the barn, the donkeys and sheep in the Pole Barn, the chickens in their coop. The dogs are huddled around me, nervous.  The lights are flickering, so I will protect my computer and other equipment by turning it off. Will return when it is possible and I am recording a video of Sandy in Bedlam. I wish all of you a safe and peaceful night. Will see you when the lights come back on. Thanks for existing.
