Marta and I brought in the potted plants on the porch of our townhouse and secured loose items that might be turned into missiles by the wind. Last night we went to a play in Washington, DC, "The Goverment Inspector," written in 1836 by the Russian author Nikolai Gogol. Having done all we can to prepare for the storm, I went to a pub two blocks away for a couple of India Pale Ales this afternoon and just returned home. We will ride out the storm, read, play guitar, and hope for the best for the entire Eastern Seaboard, including Washington, DC. Cheers, Bill

It is 11:00 AM as I write this, and the entire Washington, DC metropolitan area is shut down. The federal, state, and local government offices in the area are closed, BWI, Reagan National, and Dulles Airports are closed, public transportation (Metro, bus, rail) is shut down, and schools are closed. It actually is not bad right now, raining moderately with no high winds yet. But the storm is expected to begin hitting with increasing force about 4:00 PM this afternoon, and continue with increasing ferocity thereafter, into the night and continuing tomorrow morning. At this point, the prediction is that New York City will bear the brunt of the worst effects. Cheers, Bill
