So What's It Worth To You, America?

"DENVER - The 2007 Atlantic hurricane season should be "very active," with nine hurricanes and a good chance that at least one major hurricane will hit the U.S. coast, a top researcher said Tuesday.

Forecaster William Gray said he expects 17 named storms in all this year, five of them major hurricanes with sustained winds of 111 mph or greater. The probability of a major hurricane making landfall on the U.S. coast this year: 74 percent, compared with the average of 52 percent over the past century, he said."

But DIH knows for a fact that the hurricane season hinges entirely on her decision whether or not to take a beach vacation this year.

I go to beautiful South Carolina: major storms, possible evacuation, In fact probable.

I stay home: well, I stayed home last year. And look at the results:

"Last year, Gray's forecast and government forecasts were higher than what the Atlantic hurricane season produced."

Hello, Global Warming Committee? I think we can make a deal. I'd kind of like to see Tuscany again and since you obviously freak out at the sight of high winds and heavy seas, what say we make a trade? You send me to Italia. I leave your coastlines alone.

That's fair, isn't it?

  1. As a coastal Floridian I'd happily donate via PayPal to keep hurricanes away.

  2. I'm also willing to send dead-ripe tomatoes, avocadoes, mangoes and assorted citrus -- by USPS Express! -- to sweeten the deal.

    Mind you, the storm part of the hurricanes is no great shakes, but the two weeks without power afterwards are what verily doth give suck.

    P.S. Tell Abp. Wuerl that we won't mind if His Excellency got all strict with Pelosi, really we won't.
