Today was rainy and cold; more like October than the end of summer, but Dean and I were able to get our five miles in this morning. I took advantage of the day to hole up on the couch and do research I've been putting off all summer. A whole day devoted to scouring the online stacks of NYU's library. My computer desktop is now packed with reading for tomorrow. The day ended with a surprise visit from our son and his girlfriend. We baked a chicken and potatoes for a cold rainy night. I'm guessing we're seeing the outer edges of Hurricane Harvey and I'm grateful that I can spend a quiet day out of the storm in the warmth of my home in the company of family. During breaks from reading I caught glimpses what people in Houston and the surrounding region are experiencing of the storm; elderly people up to their chests in cold murky water. But also fleets of small craft boats filled with storm victims and captained by ordinary citizens. While our so-called president is bragging about the magnitude of the storm, ordinary Americans are stepping up to save their neighbors.
