And next week, locusts.

Ice storm this weekend. Not a big one, as ice storms go. Sleet and freezing rain, enough to make morning driving excessively exciting, but not so much that early afternoon temperatures didn't melt it all. Yet it was enough to bring down a half-dozen more limbs in my backyard, ones that we'll assume were weakened by Hurricane Isabel.

It's been an interesting last half of the year: floods, hurricane, earthquake, ice storms. Somehow, I expect we'll see a rain of frogs before the end of the year.
