Trying to reason . . .

. . .with the hurricane season.

It's a nice little Buffett ditty about being a lazy, drunk loser and watching a hurricane come into the Florida Keys.

Right now, the sky is blue and the sea is calm. However, we have been put under a tropical storm warning as Tropical Storm Chris is currently located about 135 miles east of Antigua.

According to the National Hurricane Center:

A TROPICAL STORM WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR THE ISLANDS OF ANTIGUA...BARBUDA...ANGUILLA...ST. KITTS... NEVIS...SABA...ST.EUSTATIUS...ST. BARTHELEMY...ST. MARTIN...AND ST. MAARTEN. ATROPICAL STORM WARNING MEANS THAT TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WITHIN THE WARNING AREA WITHIN THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS.

and. . .

CHRIS IS MOVING TOWARD THE WEST-NORTHWEST NEAR 9 MPH...15 KM/HR...AND THIS GENERAL HEADING IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. ON THE FORECAST TRACK...CHRIS IS EXPECTED TO MOVE OVER OR NEAR THE NORTHERNMOST LEEWARD ISLANDS LATER TONIGHT OR EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE NEAR 40 MPH...65 KM/HR...WITH HIGHER GUSTS. SOME STRENGTHENING IS FORECAST DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

So, basically, we are expecting a lot of rain and wind. But, since the sky is blue right now, the kids and I are headed to Oualie to enjoy the calm before the storm.
