I though...Nick, thanks for the read and compliment. I thought the center of the sunflower in its kind of cyclonic form was evocative of the storm post (ya, I said it too, "storm."). And, part of my thinking about the Toddlers And Tiaras thing was also that, "What do they become when they grow up?" Do they fizzle away to nothing, do they become average house wife types, secretaries, just live normal, dull lives? Or, do they turn into raging, destructive lunatics consistent with their upbringing? Oh, the questions that reel through my brain while I'm watching trash! Thanks again.AFTERMATHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15041592685191226321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119844997664774587.post-6488660844958605632011-09-05T09:18:29.289-04:002011-09-05T09:18:29.289-04:00Dearest Leonwardo Il Magnifico, thank you so much ...Dearest Leonwardo Il Magnifico, thank you so much for your fondest thoughts and concerns. Living on the coast does have its worries. But we endure. :) Poor suffering soul that I am. It's a hell of a job keeping up with trash TV and keeping all the rest of you in the know. Then, or course, there is the wildlife that puts me harms way all the time, too.

You want us all to believe you're out there with your camera ALL the time, slogging through the marsh, pursued by millions of ravenous mosquitoes, rabid foxes and quill-throwing porcupines, when the reality is that you live in such a wildlife hotspot that you only have to step outside, fire off a couple dozen 5-star pics, then duck back inside and spend the rest of the day watching Toddlers and Tieras and crap like that! NOW it finally comes out! LOL. <br /><br />Serously, CNN, the Weather Channel and all the other cable news channels have perfected the fine art of hyping every storm and every problem into a looming megadisaster, haven't they? Well, I'm glad you escaped Irene's "fury". I think of you guys whenever there's a coastal storm.<br /><br />Leonwardo Il MagnificoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119844997664774587.post-9762851917257375252011-09-04T15:46:25.210-04:002011-09-04T15:46:25.210-04:00Hurricane Irene...AMEN!

Did call my Sister in RI who is still without Power. Worry is pretty universal.<br /> Glad to hear the facts about Wind Velocity from your area.. Similar here in Coastal NH. Marsh was way up though and Surge was the cause.

Now they will look to you first before looking elsewhere. No pressure though. <br />It was great having lunch with you. We survived the storm, we all left Maine early Sunday morning.<br /> Mostly we ran into sheets of rain. When I got off the highway, here at home, there were trees down<br /> all over a rural road with huge oak trees. Poor folks. Anyway, we have two short weekends left and then<br /> ouch! all winter long.
