Irene is arriving. Gusty winds? Check. Humid? Check. Bursts of rain? Check. (8AM conditions at Hanscom Field in Bedford: temperature 72F, dewpoint 71F, winds 28MPH gusting to 38.) Teevee reporters standing out in the middle of all that crap? Check.

I've still got power, though. So I'll sit back and enjoy the show for now. Stay safe and dry, folks!

Well, Hurricane Irene has come and mostly gone from my neck of the woods. Net impact to me personally: a couple of power hiccups and a car covered in pine needles. Just the way I like my natural disasters: anticlimactic.

I hope the rest of the folks reading this are doing well.
