Quick before the storm comes!

Thunderstorm making an outrageous roaring noise outside of my door, but no lightening or rain, just a periodic threat of both.

Our local news has had the where with all to name our next storm Fay, but has not given an exact location or destination for our personal concern or interest yet.

We have been warned to stay tuned all weekend long for our 6th of the season interloper's bearings.

This preliminary din has nothing to do with the future clamor of what lies ahead.
Where it will go is anybodies guess, but the pros suggest the east or west coast is possible.

And thus is the fate of the hurricane season for us southern rim dwellers.
Adventurous, attuned and chancy gambles one might say.
But all of life is, so what will anyone do to change nature to behave in a way that isn't wrathful or destructive?
Is it even possible?
No, of course not.

And no place on earth is completely safe. Anyone with half a brain could tell you that.
No matter where you live nature can intervene at just about anytime with anything from tornadoes, to mudslides, earthquakes, hurricanes, fires, floods, and blizzards, etc.
But as a resilient species we go on, and on, and on no matter what our fate may be.

The cacophony continues like a drum section of an orchestra.
I wait for the melody to begin, but nothing.
Oh wait... Is that a bird chirping to my unheard tune?

Composition of this relish the calms before the storm are precious, and unique to each and every one of them.

We must stay alert and aware as always!

Good evening to all and to all sleep tight, dry and warm or cool. Whatever your comfort zone is.
