We have a little neighborhood shopping center a half mile up the street from the entrance to our subdivision. This was a little storefront bar that became a sport's bar, had a deli (nothing compared to what you are used to in Rochester  ) that the old man who owned it decided to retire so the bar took it over, and renovated it. You can even get breakfast there. Lot of lawn crews and construction people work there as there is still new construction going on in the area. They do a huge business. When the state law went into effect last year of no smoking in a restaurant that allowed people under 21 in....they went to no one under 21 in the place and kept smoking. Place is jammed on weekends. ACC...go get gas today!!! If they start evacuating everyone and their brother will be getting gas and they might not bring more in if it's mandatory evacuation. |

I'll be driving 4 hours to Atlanta, and I may leave in the middle of the night. I guess I better stock up on Red Bull too. |

One of these days, our luck is going to run out, and I fear that Friday will be that day. As soon as laundry dries, I'm running straight for the nearest gas station to fuel up (with a gas can for extra fuel). I'm outta here Thursday night, I think. |

Okay, I went ahead and got gas for the car. Good thing I did, as there are already 10-15 minute waits to fuel up. |

Good girl! Make sure if you do any running around this week, you make sure you keep it full, ok? You just got your tires checked when you had that flat tire, right? Might want to check the AC and water levels are right too.
If they start evacs, I would think you will be leaving before Thursday night....they usually start tourists at 72 hours and residents 48 ahead (my experience is only in Key West).
Get some water, pop and snacks for the car too, in case you get in traffic jams leaving, and end up in the car for a long time.

Yep, I've been keeping constant watch on my tires, and not just because of the flat. I also had a run-in (the next day) with a glass bottle of some kind in the parking lot at work. All tires are fine, thank God, but the sound of that glass breaking scared the CRAP out of me. They checked everything else when I had the tire taken care of...A/C, water, oil, etc. Everything is good until the next oil change (2000 more miles). I have plenty of snacks here, but no drinks. Will get some while I'm at work tomorrow (pays to work at a grocery store sometimes. LOL ). As the storm is moving slowly, Savannah officials haven't said much about evacuations yet. |

Savannah is largely lucky because of its geography. The last time a major hurricane hit that area was like in the early 20th century. |

Been piddling around all day, running a few shopping errands. We got paint yesterday but then someone got involved in a photo project and a nap. No matter, the baby starts preschool tomorrow afternoon so I'm going to paint tomorrow.
Did my first spinning class today. OMG, I have now been challenged and I need a gel seat...my butt hurt!
That's all...kinda quiet around here. Cooking steak and baked potatoes now. Salad and black beans going on the side.
Hapy Labor Day folks!

I worked today. Hospitals are 24x7, ya know.  The really cool thing is that Mr Smith didn't work today, so he made supper.  |

To take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father’s has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association—the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.
