Well, considering my house was built in 1948, with walls of textured white plaster, I haven't even CONSIDERED painting anything.

But the insulation I was planning on using was the blown-in stuff. My attic is open to the air through the roof vents, and I also have an Attic Fan (original equipment before A/C) for summertime cooling, which received extensive use when the A/C was out earlier this summer.

But I agree. I tend to work with mother nature, having seen firsthand what happens when you get arrogant and try to compete with her.

Speaking of which, I view Charley passing me by with a mixture of disappointment and relief.

Back to the same-old, same-old. Had my Hurricane Vacation with Sonny's Barbecue...now it's back to Macaroni and Cheese.

I mean, who'd a thunk it? Charley makes landfall and the first thing he wants to do is go to Disney World?

Tourist!
