I'm sorry that I didn't work in that you think I'm "adumbbrat" but it was my WFTD croquette postername Poemetric series I was working on rather than my homework.

This "comic" thought his offensive limp tribute to Old Glory would win a contest, but he came up rather short.

The majority of people don't realize that hurricanes don't stop at waters edge...

Some people have no clue.

I just got off the phone with hubby and this stupid brokerage firm is still insisting the techs will be breaking down the system for their move to REHOBOTH BEACH on Friday and they will begin installing them Friday night and through the weekend to have the firm up and running on Monday morning.

The techs are all roaring laughing. None of the others live quite as far south as we do, but some live closer to water than we do. There ain't gonna be nobody doing nothing on Friday - let alone over the weekend at the beaches.

While running errands one of the guys from oneof the rescue companies said mandatory evacuations will begin tomorrow on some of the islands in the Eastern half of the Chesapeake.

[Argh]

And all dog owners:

If this doesn't adumbrate the fall of civilization, nothing does: Italy to outlaw the ownerships of corgis and Newfoundlands by minors and criminals. (Some cute pictures there).
