I refuse to be drawn into the hysteria that is Sandy.  I’d prefer to spend this day in the kitchen where I’m creating another batch of my signature chili on this gray and rainy day.  I’ve made about a gallon of it so I’ll be sharing with nearby family members who are currently hunkered down awaiting the storm.  The house is quiet because my better-half is off to see the new grand child for a few hours and I plan to enjoy it.

I’m considering a ride down along the coast a little later  this afternoon to possibly get a few interesting photo’s of the storm’s approach to Maine.

I love Mother Nature in all her scary ferociousness.
