So... the past few days in Jamie World have seen my primary route to work (192) still closed due to a smoky brush fire, a car-fire-turned-brush-fire that closed down my favorite route home for a night (not that I would've gone that way anyway... it leads to 192), a downpour that hit right before I got to work yesterday and caused me to have soggy ankles for a few hours, and now...
...get ready for it...
...it's big and ugly...
It's Tropical Storm Alberto!!!!
...get ready for it...
...do you know where I'm going with this???
It's Tropical Storm Alberto!!!!
All but one of the projected paths show the worst of the storm hitting far north of here in the armpit of the state, but it's raining today and they say it'll be raining tomorrow too. On the bright side, maybe two days of soaking rain will end brush fire season, raise the lake levels (send them there gators back away from us civilized folk), green up the lawns, and leave us to fret about flooding.
It's the circle of life,
And it moves us all,
Through the smoke and fog,
The rain will fall.

It was slightly similar to this type of environment in the NJ Pine Barrens ... the fires cleaned up the dead stuff, the rain put out the fires and started new stuff growing, so that it could someday die, and dry, and burn, and so it goes ... and so it goes.
