So here we sit, with the wind outside kicking up to a bluster and the rain making half-hearted attempts. Flipping back and forth between CNN, the Weather Channel, and our local Channel 8 in hopes of learning something new and different, we see weathercasters and newsguys looking very tired and bored. Like wartime journalists who hope to stand in front of a camera with Baghdad under attack in the background - sorry, wrong war - the weather and news folks want to stand out in the breeze while pieces of stucco fall around them. The obligatory shots of wildly waving palm trees, traffic lights hanging by a thread, and the occasional tree on top of a car look like file footage from Hurricane Donna (1960). Yawn. The bad news: It is still on track to weave through Pasco County, just up the road. The good news: It should have lost its steam by then. So, just another soggy day in Paradise. I'm getting an urge for a cheeseburger and a batch of margaritas while trying to reason with this season. Let's not even talk about Ivan.
