No one dropped a house on me

Being  a natural born Mainer I knew Hurricane Irene wouldn't make landfall here and wouldn't amount to much more than wind and rain here. I sat back on my laurels and laughed at everyone panicking and mocked them all in a Mort from Family Guy voice-- you know, that thick New England Jewish accent. I had a lot of fun calling it a "Herricane" and fretting about mocking the masses. But yes, your intrepid author did not blow away, nor did a tree or lawn furniture fall  on her. Just thought I'd let you know. Contemplating something of a partnership with a vendor of adult products. Keep tuned!
