SCHEDULE NOTE:  Hurricane Joaquin may be heading my way after we’ve already had around six inches of rain so power outages, etc. are a distinct possibility so I might be prevented from posting next week.  I’ll be okay, I’ve survived worse, but send good thoughts or prayers to those in low lying areas and on the East Coast.
