the effects of Isabel

It has been raining for about 14 hours straight in Cleveland. Today is the first day since May that I've worn a long-sleeved shirt to work, socks, and actual shoes rather than sandals. This is how I know Autumn is right around the corner.

The Hurricane headlines amuse me, because my cat is also named Isabel. Darkenss, Death in Isabel's Wake, Isabel Leaves 13 Dead, Isabel Still Cutting Power in its Path, etc. While I realize to some the situation is grave, I can't help but chuckle just a little, because these headlines make it sound like my baby kitty is terrorizing the entire East Coast.
