The BSO brought in William Steinberg, then conductor of the Pittsburgh Symphony, part-time to replace him while they looked for a new permanent conductor. Steinbe...

Took Mrs.V out for her birthday today for lunch at a nice French restaurant on the Sound about 30 minutes west of us. Food was good but pricey. Driving back to the Circle there was a lot of westbound traffic. Since today is Friday I imagine that those were Northforkers getting away before the weeken...

Reports of damage in the Houston area sound like that of a hurricane but without any storm surge.
Some places may be without power for weeks.

That particular turtle is an eastern box turtle that Mrs. V's cousin's (who has a cottage on the Circle) husband has been tracking for years. The marks on the shells are as distinctive as fingerprints.

Our former Texas city for 30+ years was Baytown just a bit east of Houston.
Facebook reports from Baytown this morning say that most of the city has no power. Schools are closed in both Baytown and all of Houston.

Rain!
The North Fork had 5" to 6" of rain overnight. Flooding reported in some places. A few power outages reported.
Rain continues today into this evening.
Also windy.
Our cats are not asking to go out on the porches this morning.
