June 2, 2010: Packing for Alaska – big storms today

Well, we are packing for Alaska.  We leave tomorrow – mother hopefully has packed!  I know she is usually a bit slower to pack.  She keeps calling me and asking me questions – so I guess that is a good sign.

We have someone watching the house while we are away.  So, that is taken care of.

We had big storms today – wind gusted to 52 and 53 mph up here on the hill.  Pea size hail and lots of rain.  The wind sounded horrible on the house – really hit it like a wall.  Just went from nothing to 50+ in almost no time.

Looks like the oil spill continues – BP is in a lot of trouble.  Terrible for the Gulf of Mexico.
