The usual busy Saturday: errands, visits, cleaning house, grocery store.

Not much on TV on Saturdays anymore. Recording some spooky movie on SiFi but if it's like most of them, I'll watch for 15 minutes then dump it.

Scrap from last night:

The computer equipment under the blue tarp would likely survive the hurricane intact. The glistening tarp formed a tent over the monitor and protected a collection of external hard drives, modems, routers and speakers at the base of the monitor. The entire collection was raised off the cellar’s dirt floor so it was protected from both the pounding rains and the rising flood water.

Gazing with eyes that no longer saw, the computer owner, who had sought below-ground haven from the storm, was sitting against a rock wall pinned through the heart by a massive splinter that had snapped from one of the cellar’s ceiling joists as the storm's raging wind tore off the walls and floor of the house above. Arms extended to his sides—surrendering or pleading his case?—his dead hands are indifferent to the rising tide of pooling water.
