Ah....hurricane season. When the birds fly away to save their skins. Where the fishies get washed up on shore to die. Where business signs break and your trash can gets installed in your neighbors patio screen.

Hurricane Dennis is bearing down on Cuba and Key West right now. He's supposed to go north to the panhandle of Florida but, as we learned last year, hurricanes have minds of their own. At least this year we have a generator. I won't have to be sealed into an airtight house with no electricity and nothing to do all day. I can have a fan on and a tv. Our refrigerator won't become the tomb of last weeks groceries.

We are only expecting a spate of thunderstorms from this. Fingers are firmly crossed.
