Yes, that is Hurricane Sandy off of the coast of
I am enjoying the "blustery winds" that we are getting
from the hurricane and the occasional brief showers are good for the flowers.
They are flying the red hurricane warning flags at the lifeguard
towers at the beach on the coast.
Just a brief question - Did you ever see the movie Lifeguard
starring Sam Elliott? What did you
think of it?
I liked the philosophy of the film of doing the job that you enjoy
doing, whether it be taking x-rays or catering large events.
So few people in life truly enjoy what they do to earn a living. I was lucky, I enjoyed being an
x-ray technician.
But to get back to Hurricane Sandy. I would like to get over to the beach to see
the big waves and pounding surf.
I like the sound of the surf and the feel of the salt spray on my
face. So why don't I go? Gas.
The price of gas.
I drive a pick-up truck and they are typically terrible on gas
mileage. I use to consider how long a
trip will take in terms of driving time, now it is how much is the trip going
to cost me in gas. What other purposes
could I use that money for.
Yes, as the gas gauge heads to "full", my wallet heads
for "empty". An unfortunate
sign of the times.
Sometimes
Since I won't be getting over to the coast, hopefully Seaside will get some
pictures for me. It is the next best
thing to being there.
For those of you living in the northeast portion of the United States like Long Island or Delaware , look out because Sandy is coming.
Even the computers says that
Good news, bad news. The
bad news is that there is a hurricane close by. The good news is that it won't be coming to Orlando . For the people on Long Island and Delaware the bad news is
that there is a hurricane heading their way.
The good news is........well, there is no good news. Sorry.
Well, maybe there may be some good news after all. They can have a hurricane party. Take care and don't forget the chips and
dip. Lew
