 Uploaded with ImageShack.us I decided to post this before I went to bed, because Hurricane Isaac is supposed to make landfall in about an hour and a half, and I have a feeling we'll lose power during the night. Actually I'm thinking Isaac is a bit doofus it's early morning there's something in the air a tenseness wasn't there yesterday wind is picking up no blue between the clouds gray overcast turning to pitch black dark when Isaac has it way with us what a time for a hurricane and what a place picked out to hit seven years ago tomorrow Isaac return's to the scene of Katrina's crime Hurricane Katrina had its way with all over New Orleans and surrounding states August 29, 2005 Isaac is projected to wrap New Orleans in its blanket of black skies, fierce winds, rain, rain, rain thunder and lighting tornadoes here and there waiting for Isaac to do what he has to do and go visit somebody else got everything tied down but there's always something that'll break loose I sit here waiting for Isaac ©August 28, 2012 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

My whole family is up in Pearl River (just past Slidell, and not anxiously awaiting Isaac. I can see by the weather channel you're feeling the winds and rain now pretty good now. More so than they are so far. I almost drove down the other day (I'm in Houston area) to be with the family, but then I'd be another mouth to feed and water and "baby-sit". Not something needed right now. Unfortunately, you guys are on the wet side of the storm... Wish you all luck, j. |

To know that Isaac is about to hit your area must be scary, especially after what happened with Katrina. I read it stalled and backed into the sea again ... but the risks are not yet over it seems. You have written your emotions very well, Jerry! Margherita |

powerfully expressive 'reality write' ! Men say they 'know' many things but lo, they have taken wings All the 'arts' and the 'sciences' and myriad appliances ... The wind that blows is far, far more than anyone truly 'knows' |

No, J. now would have not been a good time to visit. We're getting pounded, but finally got the generator up and tuning. Yeah, Margherita , it did back into the gulf again, but figured it all out and headed our way. Drat. Ah, leave it to you, Bruce to put everything in such a poetical expression. ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Stay safe, Jerry. I've been seeing pics of the flooding from the levee breach in Plaquemines Parish... and doing lots of praying. |

Thanks, Lori, we just got power back on about twenty minutes ago, I can't believe it, sometimes I have had to wait two weeks for them to turn it back on. ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ [This message has been edited by JerryPat2 (08-29-2012 03:36 PM).] |
