Labor Day Storm?
According to current forecasts, Ernesto is going to be hitting this area pretty hard on Sunday and Monday. I will freely admit we need some rain rather desperately — we haven’t had any worth mentioning all month — but something less drastic than hurricane or tropical storm remnants would be a lot more welcome! I wish I could think of some way to tempt Ed the Weatherman over here; his forecasts, despite (or maybe because of) the fact that he’s not a pro are the most accurate I’ve ever seen.
Well, it is hurricane season, and I do have a storm stash. There’s just one problem: my low-fat diet quit working, so Mr. Empire and I have both gone on Atkins, and I don’t have an Atkins-compatible section. 
Which means I’m going to have to do a rush job of putting at least a small one in before then. Like I really love what I would guess is available … Not that I expect to need it, at least this time; unlike when we were in Dover, we rarely lose power here for more than an hour or two, which is no problem.
