Grandma turned 104 on Saturday. All the best to her, although I doubt she's ever read this weblog much less seen the web.
My favorite Grandma experience was a few days after my Grandpa died. I'd just moved to the VT/NH area and called her from a pay phone to offer my condolences.
Gr: "Well, after you've spent most of your life with someone there's a hole when they are suddenly gone..."
Me: "Uh huh"
Gr: "...not that YOU'LL ever know anything about that!"
Me: "Hey! I'm trying, I even have a girlfriend now."
Speaking of fiesty and unpredictable, Dennis has confounded forecasters and regained pretty much all of the energy it had lost slamming Cuba. Best wishes to everyone for a safe ride through this monster storm.
Here's some live tv feeds: Miami, FL, Mobile, AL.

This was taken on the screen of the ranger station at Point Wolfe campsite in Fundy park. Another large moth (photo Monday) was seen the day before just across the road.
The screen was, of course, vertical so you'll have to rotate your monitor ninety degrees counterclockwise for the proper perspective. Even though this was the main door to the station the moth stayed on it all day long...and nobody squashed it!
Looks kind of like the wooly mammoth of the moth world...must be those long Canadian winters.
That's a fascinating creature. Wonderful shot. You're becoming quite the entomology photographer.
They sure are.
My Uncle used to be an entomologist, maybe some of it rubbed off?
I don't think you had a girlfriend at that point! We didn't start dating till after Christmas. You didn't have a phone when he died and you did have one after Christmas.
Unless there was somebody else....
I think you are right and that I actually said something like "I'm working on it."
Who else could there be? ":^)
squirm out of that one!
Nice save, Jerry... ;-)
