Not "if" the hybrid batteries die, "WHEN" they die, and they have not been out long enough for anyone to really know how long they will last.
you can get close to hybrid performance with some small cars such as the honda civic 5sp manual, the new diesel volkswagons, etc..
I'm all for the hybrid technology when they are more feasible to purchase, I hope it comes soon.

People are freaking out here, and also feeding generators, and there is no gas to be found anywhere really. They're driving in from other cities to try and get gas and then running out when none is the be found.

We have a roomba-thingy, I think it's a generic one. It works pretty good for the kitchen which is tile and picks up an amazing amount of stuff. It will still miss some spots , but it takes no effort on our part to use it. It does get stuck going onto area rugs at times.

Those are sooooo right on the mark with us too!!
3. LOL! bava does too.
4. We might have heard that a time or too
5. Yup! And bava will go for forward momentum to laying down in nothing flat. and he's not very graceful about it, it's just a big thud.
10. Bava loves everyone so far, and never meets a stranger, I love that about him.
11. We have to keep towels on hand close to the water dish. Never seen a dog so messy with water.
13. I can so relate, away from the house is a slow trot, he knows his way back to the house and would like to go there better than anything, as seen when we make our return leg.
14. The cats have been really patient with him, but I think he's getting on their last nerve.
Those are great! and such a mood-lightening thing to read in the morning, thanks for posting those, you made our morning, and we can so relate.

Give yourselves breaks from the tv too... watch a movie or something, those weather guys will stress you out worse than any of this
Bava's not restless, if he were any more relaxed we would need to break out the defibrillator. Cookie monster our macaw is restless though, and saying all kinds of crazy stuff

Windows are boarded, I just put the beer in the keg and it's pressurized and should be carbonated soon.
We have reef tanks and I'll be darned if I'm gonna leave those without power and no way to get back and crank up the gen. A lot of people in our local reef club lost their tanks to Ivan, because they left town and could not get back to do anything about them and no power.

LOL Amber - good one (Still Melissa typing, not Brandon) I thought you lived in Baldwin county???
I'm making a roast for tonight and got some snacks today at the store - Brandon's been boarding up, i'm going to finish cleaning up the deck/plants outside, etc and get our bed down from the upstairs bedroom. I'm scared of tornadoes after a hurricane/during one, etc. Bava's all laid back, we got some shots of him with his doggles on and right now he's playing with his squeaky chicken. Lisa, Amber, let's keep in touch with each other thru this thing. Ya'll in Louisiana, we're thinking about you, praying etc for you. Let us know how you fare....let's hope it slows down a LOT.

We should get together and go to the thing in Ft. Walton (This is Melissa btw, not Brandon typing) I think all our "kids" would have a great time. Bava will be a little bigger by then. Not sure if I'll enter Bava at all - he still has issues with "stay" :S

I'm gonna keg 5 gallons of Pale Ale, and have that ready for Monday. Maybe I'll just drink my way through it
Oh don't forget to bring a chainsaw in with you so you can cut your way out when it is over .. Kidding, But we did that for Ivan, just never know

No bands unfortunately. Just vendors, games, pictures, etc in one area and adoptions in another area. They were also doing agility demos in 2 different areas.
There is one coming up that will have bands and be an outside event, it is in Fort Walton, it is called Dog Daze, hopefully it will be a little more fun
