Well I couldn't sleep last night if my life depended on it. Been so long since I have had any sort of natural disaster to deal with I just wasn't sure what I should be doing. No, that isn't right, I wasn't sure what my father would allow us to do.

So the yard flags are in, the yard sculptures are in, and everything is pretty much ready. Then again that was all done yesterday. If you have been reading my blogs (God help you if you have) then you know I was suppose to go the Scottish Fair today. Well we did. While most of Long Island and NYC are in panic mode the fair was coming off Hurricane Irene or not.My brother's friend and his son arrived at five after eight this morning and off we went. I took a few pictures to put up as well. I normally enjoy the Fair a hell of a lot. You watch the games, eat the food, and spend hours going booth to booth looking at the things that are there for sale. However, due to the rain and Irene coming more than half the vendors didn't show up. The games never really got going because not all the clans showed up. It wasn't as much fun as it usually is and then everyone kept stopping to talk about the expected hurricane. By ten am the rain had started. And we arrived home just before one this afternoon. I am wet and tired. My usual high from going isn't there this time.

Then there is the fact my father and I were suppose to go out to eat after the fair. Well since the hurricane is coming and I didn't drive that isn't happening. In fact, we came home and I ended up going to use up some of the stuff I had been saving for the hurricane. Just don't like how the day has gone at all.

The hurricane is still heading up here. I understand it has been downgraded to a level one but it is still a massive storm covering a huge area. Everything two blocks south of me is now being evacuated. Going to tough it out.Hope all is well everyone

Final thought for now. Just stay safe and hope everyone makes it out alright.
