We hightailed it out of Idaho. The smoke from the nearby Lava Fire made some days ‘inside only’. The stress of the Paddock Fire, watching it grow close and burning acres of rangeland, unchecked, took it’s toll. The season started out with fires in Malhuer County Oregon, just to the east of us. So, we were pretty much surrounded by active wildfires all summer.
We are now in Florida. It’s been great. The gaggles of Canadians have not arrived and for all intents and purposes, it’s empty, compared to the squash of the winter months. 10 minutes to the beach, 5 minutes to Detweilers and wonderful food. Swimming everyday and being outside more in the last 2 weeks than the last 2 months. Works for me.
I have felt earthquakes under my feet in California and Idaho, heard the blare of tornado sirens in Missouri and Michigan and been on the evacuation edge of wildfires in Idaho. I have even hid under a tiny desk at school in California in the 70’s…because WAR, you know.

Enter Hurricane Helene. This hurricane has the newscasters salivating. Dirty laundry, indeed. It is ghoulish as they speak of Helene with an almost giddy excitement. Death, destruction and chaos make them necessary. Never mind Zelensky coming to American to stump for presidential candidate Commie-La Harris. Has that ever happened before? And the governor of Pennsylvania signed a BOMB shell for him to load and launch at Mother Russia. AYFKM? Seriously MSM. We already hate you. Tucker Carlson ripped them all a new one in his Reading PA roadshow with Jack Posobiec and Alex Jones. His opening was gold.
As predicted at the start of hurricane season, at least 25 named storms would fill the dance cards of the USA from June through October. I speak NO to that.
There are so many models for Helene. It’s like reports coming in from Milan during Fashion Week.
In the mean time, here are some memes to get us through the next few days. Staying put, hunkering down and hanging in…
Loved the memes you found!
Out of the frying pan and into the . . . hurricane? The ocean sounds so appealing right now. Stay away from Democrats and sharks, which are about the same as far as I can tell.
