Very superstitious…

Well, now that we have boarded up all those windows, Ivan appears to be heading west. I’m not letting anyone remove anything until it is way past us. It might turn back … (We are still in the ‘possibility’ cone, so we aren’t relaxing yet anyway.) Yeah, I know that is superstitious but it started swerving west the minute we finally managed to get our hands on some plywood (like gas, water, ice, some foods… plywood is another thing in short supply hereabouts).

    Be superstitious! Heck, do about anything that may encourage Ivan to go elsewhere. Know that good thoughts are heading out from here that he go elsewhere on his tour!

    Maybe this is a dumb question, but could you have bought plywood before and stored it in the garage or something? After all, you will use it, sooner or later.

    Not my place, it’s a 4-plex (4 apartments). No garage, no real storage. We’ll be having fun trying to store it after it comes down (sometime in November the way things are going…).

    If it misses you, that is the main thing. It is a lot easier to take some plywood up and down, than to rebuild….or to go through another week sans power. I am still pulling for you.

    I was hoping Ivan would crush Cuba. That would have been ironic, wouldn’t it?

    (I promise you, I wish no ill on the Cuban people themselves.)
