First off, I am in no immediate danger. It is the side effects of Ike that will most likely pose problems for me.

Ike looks [...] On the day that I was going to plant my last tree, I decided to take the Flat Stanleys with me so I can take pictures of them digging the whole, being burried in the whole, etc. Well after doing some work, I went to get them and realized that Anya was missing.
