BLITEOTW 2009

The house is a fortress at the moment, at least as far as the gulls are concerned. The island got power back a couple of hours ago, so we can see television reports from Charleston. The Market is covered in dead gulls and pigeons. None of them can fly any more, so they're strutting around the sidewalks attacking foolish tourists. They have this odd lurch to their strut, some of them are missing a wing or an eye. The National Guard has brigades out spraying the flocks with gasoline and setting them on fire. They're having to be careful though, since the fires could get out of control so easily, and burn down the whole city.

I peeked out of the shutters just now. The porch is loaded with gulls. The island emergency services keep saying for us to stay inside, that they'll take care of it.

I sure hope so.

No, you're not! It's officially tomorrow, but I'm going to be on the road and unable to post, so mine is happening today.
