Week-end thoughts

Irene came to the East Coast for a visit.  She was not a welcome guest and she left a mess but it could have been worse.

People seemed to take it in stride.  There are videos of hockey being played on the streets of New York and of course cartoons were drawn and the pundits on MSNBC and CNN repeated themselves for hours while showing us photos of the storm surge and other weather related images we don't see often.  They also made sure to let us know that this was not an unusual thing by telling us the history of hurricanes from Colonial times to the present.  (Probably so the Pat Robertsons cannot tell us that it is God punishing us for some misdemeanor or another...I mean if he is punishing us with this hurricane was he punishing the Puritans for coming here in the first place?)

One of my Blogfriends lost a 50 - 60 foot tree and it broke her chimney.

Here are a couple more cartoons I forgot to add to the Sunday Funnies.

And I took this picture on the way to the parking lot after the very fine Specialis Procer Festive Board.  I essentially rested on Saturday and relaxed on Sunday.  I have been thinking of some things to write about but don't seem to be up to it. I have other things to do but since I am reading a good book I find it easier to read than to be productive. Have a great week everybody.  j
