Hurricane Season Is Here

2010 Hurricane Season

There’s a time of every year that Floridians absolutely dread: Hurricane Season.

Every year from June 1st through November 30th, Florida and Gulf Coast residents are on alert for these destructive and devastating storms. Since my move to Florida in 2000, I’ve seen my share of tropical storms and even a couple of hurricanes. I’m happy to say that I haven’t suffered any losses, but the day to day and a half long storms can be pretty terrifying when they get close. People all around the country, and I used to be one of them before I moved here, look at photos of approaching storms and think to themselves, “Wow, that’s quite a bit of stormy looking stuff heading in.” They look at photos of subsequent damage and think to themselves, “Thank God I don’t live there!” In either case, not another thought is given and life moves on.

For those of us who live in the Gulf Coast states and along the southeastern coast of the U.S., here’s some of the latest 2010 Hurricane Season forecasting information.

Happy Town

Happy Town

It had been so many years since I watched anything on network television. In general, I have no patience for commercials. Even though there are just as many commercials on cable, for some reason they are a little more tolerable. Don’t know why that makes sense to me, but it does.

RIP Rue McClanahan

Rue McClanahan (1934-2010)

When the Golden Girls first debuted in 1985, I was only 16 years old. Still, even though I was so young, I was able to appreciate the humor that the girls offered every week. Being 16 at the time, it was inconceivable to me that women like the Golden Girls could actually have a life after 50. After all, at 16, 50 was older than old!
