Eyewitness News from the Hurricane

News from New York:

Irene was lame.

Tucker described the hurricane on the north side of Long Island as "weak.  Hardly any damage.  Not as fun as a good AZ monsoon."

Hmm.  New Yorkers have always portrayed themselves as tough.  Guess I knew deep down in my gut that a desert rat could outlast a sewer rat any day.

Tucker's latest letter is here. He's getting a new companion today.  Lucky him!

And I'm so glad he's promising pictures.  I haven't had any since the MTC.

  4. Well, much better a boring storm than a dangerous deadly one. My kids said pretty much the same thing - they were not in harm's way at all.

  7. Glad to hear that he's doing well and that the Hurricane didn't affect him. You are the second blog I've read that's talked about how overhyped Irene was. :)
