No One Said "Come Again Another Day"

I mean yes, we wanted to the rain to stop. But we did not utter that famous phrase. We knew better. I think I have reason to be crabby about it all. Because now that Hurricane Frances has finally exited the backyard, stage left, I have taken a good look at the weather maps. We will be traveling to Buffalo on Thursday. And if Frances follows current projections, she is due in Buffalo. This weekend. And we are not happy about that. No one should have to endure the same hurricane twice. Although in Buffalo it should be just rain. But still. We have seen more than enough water. And so has Buffalo. And while I'm in a complaining mode, don't think I haven't noticed our next potential guest. The tropics are firing these things at us like rookie baseball pitchers. Just rear back and give us the heat! Hurricane Ivan is already up to Category 4. Egads. Obviously we are hoping to avoid an Ivan the Terrible scenario. If this one comes to Florida, it will be due this weekend. We could have a simultaneous hurricane experience! The Remains of Frances in Western New York, while Ivan attacks the house in Florida. So no matter where we are, we would have to deal with an angry weather system. Hmmm. I am beginning to check the weather sites before I check the email. If you are wondering about the force of hurricane winds, picture this. Frances pushed all the water out of Tampa Bay. It was just mud. The water all went inland. Then of course the water rushed back after the hurricane passed. But still. The thought. Well hidy ho. On to Buffalo!
