Default Marlo returns?

Not the way we were planning it, which was Mom keeping Marlo
indefinitely. But we have a big hurricane bearing down on us and,
while we don't think it will hit us directly, it's going to be bad.
Mom doesn't want to stay at her house alone, and I want to be in mine
since I have three cats to keep an eye on, so it looks like Mom and
Marlo will be moving in to my house for at least the day of the storm.

And if we lose power for a few days, which is very likely, Mom and
Marlo will probably stay for a while. I'm thinking that we'll keep
Marlo (and Mom) in the spare bedroom, but I'll probably let Mom come
out. Marlo may just stay in that room since I'm not sure that I want
her mixing with the other cats, particularly Baby.

Naturally we have a bunch of food and water, and lots of batteries and
lanterns and stuff. I'm charging all the MP3 players and Kindles, and
I have a solar charger that will charge phones. I also have a jump
starter for the car that will charge cell phones so I can't think of
much else we can do. The laptop is charging but without internet it
won't be of too much use.

Well, that's the story. I'll try to check in tomorrow since the
hurricane shouldn't hit before Thursday, but if you don't hear from me
for a few days, you know why.


It sounds as though you all have a pretty rough time ahead. I hope it
turns out not to be as bad as it looks as though it might be.

Check in when you can, because we're all concerned. However, we
understand that it may not be possible for a while.

I hope you, your mother and all the cats weather the storm without too
much distress.
