I made it though Earl just fine. I never lost power – it didn’t even flicker. I did lose cable, but considering that I rarely watch tv that is no big deal. It was pretty windy here though! Although Tim and tied up our BBQ, he ended up bringing it inside just in case. We are on the 7th floor so if the wind took it, it wouldn’t be pretty.
We did have one Earl casualty. When Tim was on the balcony the wind blew his glasses right off his face! Which was pretty funny. And even funnier was that it ad happened to a friend of his during the last hurricane. He ran outside to look for them but rocks were actually being blown around so he came inside as it was a bit dangerous. When the winds died down, we went out to look again and I found them! However, one of the lenses was missing, the other had a giant scratch and the frames were mangled. He’s going to bring them back to the eye doctor and tell her that the fit on them just doesn’t feel right (lol we have a great relationship with our eye doctor, she’s about our age).
I drove Tim to the hospital and wow – it is dark and scary out with all the street lights out! I’ll be going to pick him up ay 4:30am too. Good wife award goes to me.
I was all stocked up for the storm and just in case the power went out, I didn’t really get anything that goes in the fridge – like produce. So we ate some interesting meals today of KD (I put garlic powder in mine since I was a kid – try it – it’s amazing) and beans and buttered bread.
Off to sleep a bit in this cooler weather

You never lost power?? WOW, that is awesome!
That sucks about Tim’s glasses, but it does make for a funny story. Too bad there’s not insurance on glasses.
I just saw your early morning Tweet BTW!
