Howler Protection Program

Since that first day we moved here, there have been a few storms, but nothing like the Remnants of Hurricane Ian on the first few days of October. I recall that, on that first evening, while Lou and TSO a/k/a Liege Man of Life, Limb, and Love were returning the U-Haul, the wind was so fierce I was afraid that the howlers and the bay would come crashing through the line of French doors that comprises the entire beach-side of this house. Well, there was no need for such fear, as Liege Man and I learned a few weekends ago, by happenstance, that those doors come with retractable storm shutters.

The owner of the local real estate company from which we leased the beach house was here fixing the television, which, of course, one of us cannot live without. While he was here, he just happened to mention the storm shutters, and then proceeded to show Liege Man how they work.

Down Storm Shutters We
Knew Nothing About

So now, the next time we have a bad storm, we can listen to the howlers thrashing themselves against the storm shutters. I wonder what sounds of horror that event will make. Of course, the storm shutters won't prevent them from rearranging the chairs on the deck.
