October 24th, 2005 There’s an ugly-looking storm headed in our direction. We expect still more flooding and strong winds tonight and tomorrow. As I anticipate that we will lose power sometime soon, here’s a recent column of mine to keep you busy until I get back here: Poetic Pickles from the National Catholic Register Please pray for all those in the path of wild weather.
