It's a beautiful day for a hurricane

It really is a beautiful day -- and feels just wonderful outside. Check out the WeatherPixie. She's all clear skies and sunshine.

Even so, we’re sort of preparing for Hanna, which is still a tropical storm at this point. Duncan is checking on water and food supplies and calling me about every 3 hours to tell me how long the line is for gas at Costco and other such vital information. I’m more of the mind we’re going to have a rainy day. I just spoke with a neighbor and our plan, if we lose power, is to go to a movie. . . Our family disaster plan sort of breaks down when we think about getting Eloise in a box and in the car.

Picture the Keystone Cops trying to shoo a pissed-off cat into a crate – that’d be us. Picture every place in your house just out of reach -- that’d be Eloise.

Here is Eloise in her preferred comfort zone, looking a bit hung-over but she's really just relaxed and drowsy -- we woke her up to take her picture.
