…well actually, just one . This morning, Cubs was in the garage when he heard an interesting noise. We’ve had a family of stray cats around recently and he thought it might be a kitten. He didn’t see anything at first so he thought it might be a rat (yes, Boca Raton has rats!). He followed the sound until he saw a small crab on the side of the garage door! I guess the little crustacean was just visiting. Of course, Cubs had to find something so that he could poke at it a bit – that’s the straw you see in the photo.
Now that’s something we never saw in north Texas!
Speaking of Texas, it looks like they are preparing along the coast for the impact of Gustav, which is likely to be a category 3 hurricane. Even though I grew up in Lufkin, in east Texas, I don’t remember my family ever having any major concerns about hurricanes as a child. However, we never had to worry about hurricane shutters and that sort of thing because we were so far inland. Dear said he could recall his family “preparing” for a hurricane a couple of times when he was a teenager when they lived in Houston (which was farther south than where I grew up). While the Gulf Coast is getting ready for Gustav, here in southeast Florida, we are closely tracking “Tropical Storm #8″ (already pre-named “Hannah”)…it’s a busy season.
