Hurricanes and Tropical Storms, oh my!
It's Friday the 5 September in Charleston and we are tracking three hurricane/tropical storms (Hanna, Ike, Josephine). This time of year is always nerve-wracking with all the speculation when the storm, or whatever, is thousands of miles away and the tracks are never predictable. Anyway, here we sit, work is called off, the bridges are closed, it is raining off and on and very windy, so we are just waiting, counting our batteries, water bottles, and candles. Reminiscent of Hugo, the terrible hurricane that went through Charleston in 1989, the year we started Against the Grain! But I am a superstitious optimist, keeping my fingers and toes crossed. Registration for the Charleston Conference continues apace, still running at twice the number registered this year as were registered at the same time last year. Come on down! (But not now!)
