should i stay...

Well, after a fairly solid night's rest, the picture painted by the weather folks was not nearly as drear.
Matthew was still wading in the warmth of the Gulf Stream, but was staying away from the beach itself, choosing instead to toss water wildly all around him, and for a considerable distance, too.
Here in Savannah, we've been caught by some of that wild spray, but we're twenty miles inland from shore. Tybee has been closed to travel for several hours, as the one road in - or out - has been covered by water, thanks partly to Matthew's efforts and partly due to timing. The high tide was about two hours ago.
The worst is yet to come, of course.
The big bully is still moseying up the coast, not in any particular hurry to get anywhere soon.
That's bad for the rest of us, of course.
Everyone knows that no one breathes easily until a bully has passed them by and rounded the corner.
Given his current pace, he will arrive here about 8 PM, too late for dinner. But like a bad guest, he will persist in hanging around until the next morning, disrupting everyone's plans and their sleep.
Sigh.
I have plenty of crossword puzzles to pass time, as well as unread magazines.
I have three lights with fresh batteries, as well as candles.
I have a bathtub full of water, should that be needed for flushing.
I have plenty of food which can be eaten cold, and plenty of water.
I have the ice chest ready to go, in case it's needed.

I'll see y'all in the morning.
Much love always!
