Underreacting to Isabel
Isabel, we're ready for you. OK, maybe not entirely ready – our food stockpile is non-existent, and we have only a six-pack of Evian (buy French!) on hand. Look, I'm a city kid, and I fully expect to be able to go out to the store whenever I need to.
But the plants and trees (I've got a half-dozen giant redwood seedlings, a red cedar and a couple of dwarf plum trees in pots) are nicely tucked away on the back porch. The backyard table is turned upside down, and the chairs are stacked against a wall.
It's 11 a.m. and the wind is starting to blow out there – quite a bit. Could be there's a storm coming.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
