My first reaction when yesterday someone suggested that the area schools might close—you're kidding, right? It's just raining hard—was tempered by how far the palms were bending in the wind last night. School didn't end up being canceled today—guess they're saving those hurricane days for a real storm.
Looking outside, the sky is almost a yellow gray—the rain is so thick—just not over us at the moment. Hopefully it is passing through (sorry, Carolinas). Today was the first morning since my daughter started school that I really couldn't walk her there—we had to take the car. And I really missed my morning constitutional. But it's just rain. It's Florida. I don't want to buy into the general weather hysteria of the area, but I have to admit that I'm hoping hurricane season is on the wane, too.

Oh my ... Lucy's the spit and image of you in that second photograph!
And that's one grand view you have, too.
We're looking out at some grim grey, ourselves right now -- heavy rain, fish swimming by [grin], flood and tornado watches and warnings all over the area. But no palm trees. Global warming hasn't advanced that far yet!
I guess she inherited my carefully calculated windblown look (cough, cough.) Hopefully your commute won't be too wet. we had 4-6 inches of rain here yesterday (!) but it's back to 80s, so I can't complain - too much!
Well, yes, that too! [grin] But the shape of the face, the eyes, the expression, in that photograph are all purely you.
As for the commute -- don't know about the journey home, seems dry enough right now; the way in was definitely damp. However, I have long ago learned to keep a pair of dry socks and an old pair of shoes here at the office ... Definitely needed those this morning!
