They are building it up so they can blame the governor for bad planning.

I honestly have no dog in this fight politically and do not care one bit about that part of it, but I did see the Florida governor on the Weather Channel last night giving a lot of great details and instructions to the residents of Florida. He came across well-prepared and is certainly taking this seriously.

Or when a snow storm was moving in! I may or may not be the proud owner of this tee.

He was my favorite "Celebrity". Just a guy that was kicking butt at his job and he became of local "Celebrity/Hero" type guy. His flowing silver locks of hair and his laid back attitude and getting the job done, was next level. Loved that guy.

Have a buddy that was supposed to be at Disney this week. Poor guy.

We left as scheduled on Monday morning. Ran into a college friend at the airport heading down. On the bright side the reduced crowds may help them get on more rides.

Watching that offense should be punishment enough for you. I say keep lets you off the hook.

Actually I think it's "just" through October. I should've negotiated better terms.

I realize these things can shift at a moment’s notice, but looks to me like the main part of this storm is set to make landfall between Sarasota and Fort Myers. A lot less populated area than if it were to shift and hit further north, because then you’re bringing Tampa into the line of fire.

Hitting between Fort Myers and Tampa/St. Pete is probably the best case scenario for this storm as it would affect a smaller amount of coastal population.

Our go to place the last couple of years in early March has been Clearwater Beach. I sincerely hope the storm doesn't damage the beautiful beaches and infrastructure.

Fortunately, after Hurricane Andrew in 1992 Florida enacted a very aggressive building code such that anything built after that date is required to withstand hurricane winds up to (I'm guessing here.. 115 MPH). So yes, there will be huge problems and destruction but anything built in the last 30 years should fair pretty well.

Going to be talking to a friend in our building on the Atlantic side later today. Not horrible there, but lots of rain and wind. Unfortunately our building is undergoing concrete restoration and my beach-facing sliding doors are not installed, just plywood make-shift walls. So anxious to see how we did.

In all seriousness though this looks like a bad deal. Hopefully most people evacuated and the people that stayed are able to be safe. Destruction looks imminent at this point.

I'm hoping the exceptional performance during my rookie month will open the door to a new contract.
