Aw, sh**, here we go again.

Ok, do I have to call Pat Robertson to find out what we did in Mobile
to attract three major hurricanes in two years? As far as I know, we
didn't have Gay Pride floats at Mardi Gras.

Oh, well; maybe I can get the line guys to put Delta in the bizjet
hangar again. Otherwise, it's off to Houston to sit it out at Mom's.

Damned freakin' hurricanes.

Have you ever looked closely at a snowflake? Quite beautiful, actually :-)

Say "Hi" to Mom from the Minnesota members of the group.

We get an inch of gently falling fluffy snow in January and they call it a
"storm" on the TV news!!

According to National Geographics, weather in the south follows certain cycles.
There have been relatively few hurricanes every year since about 1980. Things
are heating up again, and you can expect seasons like this for at least ten years.

Hah! I worked for Honeywell for 13 years, so I've been to Frostbite
Falls (aka Minneapolis) many times. "inch of gently falling fluffy
snow" my ass.

A foot of snow would look pretty good right now, though.

Well, yeah, I know it's normal for the the seasons to have cycles.
What's damned unfair is to have three major storms come ashore in the
same place in the space of a year. *That's* unusual, to say the least.
Statistically and historically, such events are usually separated by
decades at any one spot on the coast. I lived in Houston for 43 years
and saw only one direct hit by a major hurricane.

and people wonder why I live in the desert..
I've put up with New England winter snows and Bermuda High humidity
I've lived in Texas and Louisiana, cold wet winters and even worse summer
humidity..
North and South Dakota winters and wind.. 9 months of winter and 3 months of
tough sledding.. so the story goes.. but I don't need the -45F temps with
50knt winds, -95F Wind Chill
But even in summer, it was 95 and sticky humid

But here in the desert, it's a dry heat, no hurricanes, no tornados, no
blizzards and ice storms.
Just great soaring weather. Ok, winters get down to the 30s, and I can see
the snow on the local 10,000ft peaks if I want, but I can still wear a "new
England summer jacket" all winter.

Ok, so the ground shakes once in a while.. but you hardly feel it.

You're too close to the Hurricane Hunters at Keesler AFB in Biloxi. The
hurricanes are getting revenge for those WC-130's poking holes in them.

I'd call Mobile a lot of things, but "paradise" isn't one of them.

Drop off the old XM gear (4R7), pick it up on your way back, if it
doesn't get bought...

Or stay here, 30kw NG/LP generator keeps things comfortable...
