Rain, Rain Go Away

Sitting here this morning watching Hurricane Hanna - now a Tropical Storm - roll in. It's already messed up my normal Saturday morning bike ride with the guys. And I'm not happy about it. It's not nice to mess with an endorphin junkie.

I figure if you can't beat em join em. So I'm going wait for my fried egg sandwich to digest and then head out on a 5 mile run. We are supposed to get heavy rain - I love running in the rain - and winds of 20-40 mph. The winds aren't bad yet so I shouldn't get hit by flying debris and what not.

Early this morning I did my normal Saturday morning grocery shopping. The place was hopping with people 'stocking up' for the storm. This is basically just going to be a lot of rain and some wind here. What do these people need to stock up for? I've got enough food in my house to last weeks? We are a 100 miles from the coast people. The cashier said the store was packed last night with people buying: milk, toilet paper (ok that one is pretty important), batteries, bottled-water (we have city water and have never lost our water supply in the 40 years I've lived here), canned goods (probably bought by people who have an electric can opener), bread etc...People are too funny. I did buy two extra cartons of Ice Cream this morning...you know, just in case...
