Walking the Edge of Reality

A look behind the curtain to my world...

Winds of Despair

Somebody up there *really* doesn't like me...

We have no idea where this thing is going to go, but odds are I won't be going to work tomorrow simply because I can't. If the winds get higher than 30+MPH, MetroRail and Tri-Rail both shut down service; I've always found that rather odd considering that it's gonna take a lot more than a 30MPH wind to knock around a fifty ton locomotive, but it's best that they error on the side of caution I guess.

And this, if you haven't realized it yet, is occuring on my birthday. Lucky me to be an August baby, 'cause I get to share the time around my birthday with major atmospheric cataclysms. I had turned 21 years old less than a week before Hurricane Andrew decide to rip through South Florida, and that was far from entertaining.

So what will I spend my day doing? Most probably waiting in line for water and batteries, putting up shutters, etc... You know, the usual birthday stuff.

Thing about hurricanes is that they can go either way; there's never a "so so" hurricane. Either nothing happens and you pretend that it never happened or you're without power for a week. Hurricane Wilma was supposed to blow over us without even a whimper, and we all know how that went; I was without power for a week and I know of places that still had debris lying around until January (I'm talking strictly about the Florida experience for Hurricane Wilma, which of course pales in comparison to what New Orleans went through).

Anyway, we have to deal with this minute by minute. Let's see how things go. Hey, at least I have a real excuse for delaying the launch again... ;)
