At risk of boring lots of folks here (which is fair because the silly
quarrels bore me) I would be very interested in your hurricane supplies
list. One of our favorite and unusual ones is a supply of Johnson & Johnson
baby powder and a box of corn starch. The mix is soothing to heat rashes
and helps a little if a real bath is impossible.
Another ridiculous preparation is we freeze water in our muffin tins and
sack the 'cubes'. They hold better than ice cubes. I reckon we need to get
started on that. I see Hurricane Emily is being announced. At 40 mph she's
just a sissy but it may be good practice. Our power goes out if the
hummingbirds get raucous. Polly
