The little leftover shreds and tatters that remain of the
hurricane-force system called Florence
have arrived in the northeastern United State coastal area.

I'm not laughing. This is too much to be amusing.
To get to this public-access, rental-time computer,
I had to get in my auto and take a little drive.
well, I made it, soggy altogether.

But the soggy is the least of it.
The rain is torrential. It is coming down with such force
as to limit visibility to fractions of a mile,
and don't ask ME which fractions.
And when that expletive-deleted pickup truck passed me in the passing lane,
the side-splash over my front windshield
effectively blinded my driver's vision for several seconds,
which I am NOT used to, especially in motion.

I'm kind of west of south-west of Boston.
Now, north of Boston,
there has just expired a TORNADO watch.

Chantey Lass! Ahoy! Are you still above water?
