Ivan-a Be Alone

Hurricane Ivan came and went without incident here in Columbus. Apparently, about 5,000 households lost power. Ours, thankfully, was not one of them. Of course, had we not loaded up on bottled water and batteries, we'd still be sitting in the dark. I decided that the bottled water and batteries were kind of like hurricane insurance. Kind of like bringing your umbrella to a baseball game. Bring your umbrella, and you won't need it. Leave it in the car, and you'll be sitting in a downpour for two hours.
