Wha...!
Ruthy and Sam are in Miami, LCS is in Ocala which is NW of Orlando, and I am in Palm Bay which is 30 miles or so south of Cape Canaveral.
Frances is scheduled to make landfall where I live. But the storm is so big that everyone will get some of it.
Oooh, yep, I've dealt with both scenarios!
But this year is sooooo much easier than last year. Last year Blaster came out about two weeks before the year began, NO students had updated or had antivirus software, and at the time, the residence halls weren't completely isolated from our side of the network or from other buildings on campus. It was a nightmare of the grandest kind. This year, most of 'em have learned, AND we're telling them we won't work on their systems if they don't have antivirus software of some sort. If they do and just got nailed before they had a chance to update, we can help...otherwise, have a nice day.
Of course, that just addresses the virus problems and not everything else...but it's a big part of it!
Good morning!
I really hate getting rattled awake by a buzzer.
I just saw that.... Batten down your hatches ksen.
Mine too. ;^)
I'm bookmarking your post!
I'm sending my family over to the Tampa/Clearwater area probably tomorrow. My father-in-law has this idea that he wants to stay so I'll stay with him to make sure he doesn't have a heart attack or something.
Steve puts my cup of coffee on my bedside table every morning...that's enough to wake me up. Then I sit on the side of the bed with my eyes closed drinking it for a while.
MUCH nicer than a buzzer!
Frances is scheduled to be here sometime Saturday evening.
Half of me is actually jealous.... I would really like to see it someday.
That does sound nicer than a buzzer!
I wish you'd leave.
Eeek.
I mostly just resent any alarms. I wake up early by nature. I am always up by 6, but to get up and get my head on straight for this job I need 5:30 in order to have time to freep and sip.
Good morning!
Feels like fall again. Oh, happy day! I really don't like heat...
My wife is going to try and talk her dad into leaving to and then I'll go with them, but he wouldn't be a good father-in-law if he weren't stubborn. ;^)
Some of that comes from being really sleepy- my fault for staying up waaaaaay past my pathetic bedtime. Had to watch Aaaaahnold.
I hope she's able to...
Will the house be boarded up? Are you doing all that prep work and such?
