My favorite thing about hurricanes is the coverage. Matt Drudge is getting the vapors, the way he does. Others are getting a little uptight. I also love the way weather people on the telly pretend to be terribly upset that a hurricane may come and give us hell, when quite obviously they’re having the time of their lives. The crushing look of disappointment they feel telling viewers it isn’t going to be as intense as they first ‘feared’ has to be seen to be believed. My own rule of thumb with hurricanes is that if they warn you about them, it’ll be ok. It’s the ones they don’t tell you about that’ll kill you. Fearless prediction: It’s just going to rain a lot here. The beagle is bummed.
