Best hurricane joke: Unfortunately, hurricanes are like men. Sure it starts out exciting enough but in the end you're left wet, frustrated and fumbling around in the dark for batteries.


It's overcast in Tallahassee. The storm is predicted to come through town. The schools are closed, the state offices just emptied out at noon. I've been caring for my dad for nine years and we are watching the Weather Channel. I have some more preparations to do at my house, down the road from dad's retirement community place at Westminster. I've got my tarps in case the roof gets damaged, flashlights, food, water, and a few dollars. Plus wine; lots of wine!! Haven't had a bad storm in eleven years in Florida....Wish me luck!
