Good with the bad (or potential bad anyway)? I come to your blog to take part in a bit of shared humanity. Odd as it sounds, I feel a sort of kinship toward you and feel a bit of pain when you are blue. And a bit of elation when you are happy. Hope that’s not weird.

No, that’s not weird, Pablo. That’s called being friends.

Fortunately for us, Ophelia is heading out a little more to sea so we’re escaping most of the effects. Very little rain here so far. That’s an occasion for a happy dance! Perhaps luck will hold until all that dirt up on the hill has a chance to grow some grass to help keep it anchored.

OY, I am keeping my fingers crossed that the hill stays in place today. So far today there hasn’t been too much rain fall.
So are you changing the look of the windows? Are you going to keep the big window flat?

Same size and all (big window still flat), just with the muntins inside the glass instead of between 36 different panes. Easy cleaning. And no more storm windows!!!! YAY!!!!

Well, at least on the front of the house. Back of the house next year, maybe.

We have four storms SE of us, two on a NW route.  Jova is the first.

Not what one wants to see.

Isn’t that an uncommon amount of tropical activity all at once? It looks as though Jova *may* turn northward and fizzle out over colder water. Keeping fingers crossed.

Yeah, it’s unusual to have them in a row within days of one another.  I spent most of the day gathering all my hurricane in-house survival stuff and putting it all in one place.  Tomorrow the go-kit.  Fortunately all the important papers are in a safe-deposit box (unless the credit union goes).

I don’t envy you that that kind of preparation and the thinking that must go along with it. Will keep hoping all of them go off into colder waters and leave Hawaii safe.
