Mother nature is kicking our collective ass, why? Because she can. Bitch.

So, Wilma is beating on Florida and Alpha has arrived. Alpha makes history as the first time EVER we had to move on to the Greek Alphabet for the naming of Hurricanes and Tropical storms. I will grant you that the current naming practice has not been around for very long, the practice of alternating between male and female names started in 1978 as part of women's lib (from 1941-1951 and 1953-1978 only women's names were used, from 1951-1953 the phonetic alphabet was used, previous to that they were named for the Saint Day on which they made landfall) but still this has been a busy year for hurricanes.

The fires and earthquakes of California and the hurricanes in the east make me think ... When the Big One hits and California falls into the ocean and the entire eastern seaboard is scrubbed away by tropical storms and hurricanes ... they can all eat my safe, dry, "Fly-over-country" ass. Buwahahaha
