Charlie doesn't do well with things he has no control over. I think that's why he likes numbers and puzzles and video games so much. He can control the outcome, more or less, and they are orderly and have rules you can follow.
This is why he doesn't do well with things like natural occuring incidents like Tuesday's earthquake and this weekend's hurricane. Which he doesn't know is a hurricane yet, and I hope no one tells him. The earthquake's made him anxious enough this week.
I'm inland enough that we're probably just going to have strong winds and rain, and maybe a downed tree or two, so hopefully he'll survive it without too much anxiety.
I'm just worried that this, along with the earthquake, is going to start making him think Harold Camping was right after all.
