There is a sad irony that it is us calling and e-mailing the north as this weather monster approaches. Usually the concerned calls are coming from up there for us.
We're definitely not enured to weather down here despite the close calls and yet, Hurricanes - whether direct hits or not - are always a concern in Florida.
We have done a good job of rationalizing those and our tremendously hot summers by saying , "Yeah, but we don't have to shovel it."
The next two days up north have us on the edge of our seats and we pray for family and friends.
And, that is no laughing matter.

To see one team blow out another in baseball like the Tigers did to the Yankees and then the Giants did to the Tigers, is truly amazing. Once again we will remind all those sports fans of the vagaries of sports.
We feel sorry for those poor souls who cling to the predictions of their favorite newspaper sports writers, their constantly watched sports network sport analyists, and sports magazine columists - that nobody (that's NOBODY!) really truly knows a damn thing about predicting sports outcomes - in the long run.
Our suggestion, "If you insist on betting - "go with your guts" - instead of the gutless - who will seldom admit in print or on the air that they didn't really have a clue about what they had fearlessly predicted so confidently."
The old standard in the upper left hand corner of the newspaper front page said it all. It showed a picture of Shakespeare's character Puck looking down at us readers and proclaiming: "What fools we mortals be."

If you don't believe that statement then you are surely one of the clueless who are predicting the demise of this great country solely based on who it is we elect in this 2012 Presidential election.
Why? Because you read it or heard it on TV?
Or are you truly one of the few, like friend Harry, who really took the time to analyze both the candidates and their professed beliefs?
