If you just glanced, you might think it was only a weird low cloud hugging the horizon. But it is actually smoke. I'm so anxious. My fear is that some moron out there firing up the grill will spark a fire in my neighborhood. We made a list on the white board of what to throw in the cars, things like the cats and the backup hard drive. The uncertainty of it all is hard on my head. My mind won't stop turning things over. The pictures don't help.

When I look at the radar, you can see all the clouds and moisture drifting away west and east. We remain, lonely and dry. The only cloud on the map over Texas is actually the smoke fromt he Bastrop fires.

In more mundane news, Pumpkin destroyed my kitchen mat and now I need to find another. Of course they don't make the one I had anymore. Alas pears.

Oh well that tops mine by quite some way!

Saving our animals alone would be a nightmare in an emergency - how do you bundle three cats, two hens and a hamster (and hopefully about to extend to two rabbits) into a car without them attacking each other? And that's without tackling the fish!

We should really have backup hard drive, but from the reviews it seems impossible to find one that is suitably reliable.

I think that's when I knew I was in love, hunting down that map.

Hopefully you will never need to play animal tetris to get everyone packed into your car. Sounds like you would need a few sturdy crates.

The backup drive we are using right now is Iomega. So far, so good.
