Hurricane Isabel.

I'm ready for Hurricane Isabel in the event it comes this way. I've got cat food enough to last through the weekend, and I've been assured that's the most important thing.

Reminds me of other hurricanes, though. I went to college in Houston, and each of the four years, we had one day off for weather related reasons: two for hurricanes, two for city-paralyzing snowstorms of 2 and 3 inches, respectively. Being as responsible as most college kids, we had hurricane parties. Water balloon fights, Frisbee throwing. (Not surprisingly, when you throw a Frisbee into winds of over 75 mph, it doesn't go where you aimed it.) And I seem to recall that there was drinking involved.

Hmm. Wonder where I packed away my Frisbees.
