Hurricane Isabel stole all the flashlights!

Hurricane Isabel is currently on track to rape my beloved Outer Banks (although, a few of those monster houses that, as my brother-in-law says, "use every window in the Andersen catalog" could stand to go). Its inland track puts it right over Richmond, then DC/Maryland a short time later. For those that don't know, your's truly is based in Arlington, VA, just outside of DC.

I procrastinated this week-end and didn't go out and get one of those big, flourescent tube, stand-up type flashlights. I finally got around to it today, and this was way too late. The only flashlight of any size I found was a Monsters, Inc. jobby at Home Depot (after visiting Target, CVS, and a local hardware store). While it would be a funny item to have around in general, I felt that a flashlight with Mike from Monsters, Inc. head over the light wasn't the most practical thing to use to find my way around my dank basement should it be flooded and the electricity is out. It would surely keep my spirits up, though.
