Wow, Cesar. I'm assuming you're o.k., as you've been online here. Looks like there's going to be some extensive clean-up, bridge and road repair, in your section of the country.

Yep I am fine, I'm luckily in a semi safe area that isnt that prone to floods.

But there is def going to have a lot of repairs since 2 bridges were heavily damaged, 1 destroyed, 1 will come down soon, a bunch of cultural buildings and stores in the center of the river (islands) were pretty much covered in water.
The river might get even bigger and flood nearby homes (its raining again)
And the main bridges between my town and Puerto Vallarta is most likely close as the water continues to rise.
The Vidanta complex (with its circle du Soleil construction area) is also covered in flood water (like they had warned them years ago.. but they went cheap with their barriers...)

What I really hope is that the damns do not burst or get damaged.. those are critical.. If they go down.. the flood waters might even reach me covering extensive land.

Stay safe my friend

My House Elf duties are a bit behind schedule. I only got 20 quarts of hot peppers pickled

There are supporters and non supporters of Melatonin. I take and support the pill. It makes me melt into my bed and fall asleep faster and when my alarm clock goes off I wake up like a lightning rod with no feeling groggy whatsoever.

My DD uses it too. Said it’s the best sleep she ever had.

So how many hot pickled peppers can Figgy really pickle? Did you pickle a peck of pickled peppers?

I use melatonin from time to time as well. Often if I'm stressed or have had a couple nights of bad sleep, usually during the school year. I am planning on taking some tonight.

I hope it's not bad by then for selfish reasons. I'm a few hours behind you

My lot in life is that of a house elf So it's the standard uniform Today I'm making/made 8 quarts of fried rice, 8 quarts of ragu(again not the stuff from a jar), canning dozens of jars of hot peppers, making an applesauce cake, having several words with Mount Laundry.....................

No idea how you do it.

Speaking of which, isnt it the anniversary of Katrina... and this hurricane just came right at that time?

Reminds me.. we had a very strong quake in Mexico city a few years ago.. on the SAME DAY as the devastating 85 quake.
The new one took buildings and quite a few of lives as well.

THNX I did have James help with some of the cooking and his brother swapped the laundry and filled the dishwasher. The house is messier than I'd like

when weather reporters tell you not to go out in the wind but yet, they're hurricane proof and do it anyway

Just a heads up about Melatonin -- it can raise blood pressure. So those who have elevated blood pressure should avoid it. (And there are specific BP meds that interact poorly with it, as well.)

Other than that, I've heard others do well with it. (I've never tried it.)

@ajrwdwgirl , have you been watching the new Bachelor in Paradise (Mondays, at 8 PM, Eastern). They had 2 episodes last week (Monday and Tuesday) to start off the new series. As usual, it does not disappoint -- lots of lame discussions, unusual characters (and some familiar faces from a few previous seasons of Paradise and/or Bachelorette or Bachelor). Can't wait for tonight's frolics!

I take 5 mg. If one takes 10mg one would probably sleep through a hurricane. Currently the entire city of New Orleans is without power after a Cat 4 hurricane past them by. There is even melatonin for kids gummies bear style.

yes we have been watching it. It is entertaining as usual. I thought I would like David Spade more as the guest host but I was a little disappointed in him.

Actually, I thought David was funny! Looks like this season they're having multiple guests hosts: David Spade, Lance Bass, Lil Jon and Tituss Burgess. That approach could be interesting.
