GO WEST GO WEST, YOUNG MAN!

Then disperse you babe of nature’s wrath and murderous immoral, sadly the count of seven is in Haiti, this betrayer of human life who’s name is ISAAC!
Yes, being only a few days old is considered an infant.

My incantation seems to be working though, have any of you noticed?
The only thing that worries me is where ISAAC will go to next.
Let’s all pray, as I said in my opening above line is the best he can do is to disperse and diminish before harming anyone else!
And yet, they insist, meaning, the weather folks, meteorologists peoples, say that he will increase in size to possibly a category one or two hurricane, before he destroys more lives in our Florida panhandle or further westward towards New Orleans, neither they nor us need anymore of that!
My only resolve is that he, ISAAC, has proven to not do what he was thought to be doing and hopefully this will continue to be his MO!
WE CAN ONLY HOPE SO!

Moving on…
Here I sit with full power on and our home boarded up, just in case…
We never have had to get sandbags; although, they were available for free, for a twenty count, in River City AKA Punta Gorda.
If we should happen to get a storm surge:
“Storm surge noun an abnormal rise in the level of the sea along a coast caused by the onshore winds of a severe cyclone.” Or in our case a hurricane. Thanks to:

With us being at just a nine foot elevation from our saltwater canal, it would be a first for us.
Sure we have had water come up over our dock and on to our lawn, our home is not anymore than fifty feet from the water, but it has never come up as far as our home…Now I shouldn’t have said that, tempting fate!
Nah, we’re good, yep we’re good, YES, WE’RE GOOD!
Got that ISAAC?
The rain totals now too have been revised from close to ten inches, previously predicted, now down to one to three; all in all we appear to be rather lucky! YES WE ARE! SHALL I CHIRP OUT A TUNE? Not yet, still want to get through the night and tomorrow…
Yet we will be experiencing tropical storm winds of thirty-nine mph or more in gusts.
So far our winds for us around are only nine miles an hour!
Sure hope the house shutters hold!
Kidding, I make bigger rushes of wind when I pass people on my scooter at ten miles an hour indoors!

“Disperse and Diminish, Disperse and Diminish, Disperse and Diminish and leave us all alone ISAAC!”

Well, now we wait to see if it worked.

Wouldn’t that be wonderful?
If just doing that?

Many of you out there are true believers of all things of that nature, that one word has many meanings and so do your thing and take on with enormous caring help yell my incantation above in quotes, as loud as you can!

Who knows stranger things have happened…
On that note of positivity, allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count your blessings and share those overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
