It’s the waiting that drives you crazy.

So, here we sit. Saturday morning Sept 9, 2017. A category 5 hurricane, Irma, raking Cuba. The poor folks there, hunkered down. Kind of a futile effort. We can pray for those who have no recourse. That’s their best bet.

It’s the waiting that drives you crazy.

There have been humanitarian gestures, hotels lowering their rates. Of course, gas prices not included. Those hiked way up just as the last hurricane moved in and destroyed Houston. It’s up to $2.69 a gallon now. The major North-South routes look like giant parking lots. At least on the side headed North. No one is coming to Florida. Just leaving in a panic, outrunning the storm. At a snail’s pace.
