NHC‘s 2006 hurricane forecast came out a couple of hours ago, and they’re calling for a busy Atlantic season. NHC is forecasting 13-16 named storms this year with 8-10 hurricanes, 4-6 of them major
One thing we need to add to our hurricane kit is stuff for the dogs. Need to do some research to see what needs to go in their kit. The ASPCA website has some good tips on emergency pet preparedness
Nala Bughunter
One thing Nala’s become really good at is finding and tracking insects inside the house. It’s easy to tell when she’s got one in her sights too. I’ll walk into a room and see her staring really, really hard at something. Sure enough, there’s a bug under her nose that she’s sniffing at. It’s really kind of amusing, the way she gets with bugs.
The other day I walked into the kitchen and saw her staring at something just below the counter. I walked over to see what she was looking at and this huge moth flew up into the air and started banging against the ceiling and walls trying to get out. Finally managed to capture it when it landed on one of the plants, and released it safely outside.
This morning I spotted her crouched down staring at something at the base of the dishwasher. Found a little tiny cricket she had cornered.
Look out bugs!
Just call me Bacon
I have a new scent, Eau de BBQ.
Our catering services were called upon this weekend for my brother-in-law’s birthday party. 12 pounds of ground chuck and 4 pounds of ground turkey were turned into burgers and then grilled along with about 4 pounds of hot dogs and sausages, and around 10 pounds of ribs. 3 hours of grilling later (he needs a bigger grill if he’s going to keep having parties like this) I was smoked like bacon. I’m sure I wasn’t quite as tasty though. Two days and 4 hair washings later, my hair still smells like hickory smoke.
I think people found the food tasty though. For a while the burgers were going off the table as fast as I could get them off the grill.
The dogs had a good time out there too
Post #1000! And all before this blog turns 3 too.

Doesn’t Blogger do RSS?
There are a bunch of interesting blogs in TBB that I’d like to add to my FeedReader list, but a good chunk of them are hosted on Blogspot/Blogger and have no links to RSS feeds though. I know I’ve seen Blogger blogs with RSS feeds, so I’m sure the feature’s there. Turn it on people! Let me aggregate you!
Hmm, that sounded wierd didn’t it…
Update: Oh, apparently RSS feeds is a Pro feature. Too bad.
