!!! Storm Surge Warning !!!

There's a storm surge warning in effect for all of Prince Edward Island -- the entire island !!!. I know this is all my fault -- we should have changed our bulbs to low-C02, and we didn't. Curse you, global warming!

This may be my LAST POST. If you don't hear from me, you'll know what happened. My final words. Agnostic Joe, there IS A GOD. (And no, his name is not Al Gore !!!)

The wind is howling. I think I see the waters rising.

This could be it.
