not today

I had intentions of going to Florida today, but I changed my mind this morning. When I crawled out of bed, it was barely daylight, but I could see the trees in my backyard patch of woods twisting and bending as if they were being throttled by the wind. I stepped out on the back porch and got a dose of the same thing myself.

Bejus! Mother Nature was in a foul mood.

The rain started about 30 minutes later and it's been falling hard ever since. I checked the Weather Channel and discovered that where I intended to go today resembles a war zone on the weather-map. I ain't drving through that kind of shit when I don't have to.

I'm going to hunker down in the Crackerbox until this crap blows over. I'll go to Florida tomorrow.
