After Effects...

The last thing this Isabel torn county needs is more rain but it was pouring this morning when we got up. Seems to have abated for now and the sun is out. There is standing water all over the place though...reports of streets having water on them still. The "dog" run area of this property looks more like a swim park.

For the most part, things look ok around here...until you notice some fresh tree stumps where trees once stood...every 3rd car has brush and debris sticking out it's truck or in some cases the undercarriage. This hotel is full...all 6 buildings...3 floors...32 suites per building. The 40 tell tale white cherry picker equipped trucks congregating in the parking lot across the way or the convoys of other service vehicles all over the area might be another clue that something major has gone on here. ...and this place is basically intact. Can't imagine what's going on on the coast. Actually it's probably harder to realize there are issues when things "look" basically normal.

In the meantime, we seem to have our very own water issue...the dishwasher in the room didn't drain and there is dampness to the carpet...I hate water where it doesn't belong...have I mentioned that before?

Time to see what's going on out there in the world....I wanted to go see the newly reopened National Archives this visit but I suspect maybe it's not a good time to go into DC. Besides...it was scheduled to reopen last Thursday...maybe not.
