It's winding

Hey, you hear that? The big storm that's been coming our way has just arrived. I just saw the rain switch from vertical to horizontal, heard the garbage cans falling over (smart move — keep those heads down), and it sounds like a whole fire battalion is hosing down the west side of my house. Also, the DirecTV signal of North By Northwest just cut out. Fortunately, I have the DVD. Don't tell me I'm not prepared for these emergencies.

Time to get the cats in the barn. See you all on the other side.
