Sitting in Birmingham, Alabama watching the tropical weather develop to the south is I have to admit, a little disturbing. We are in the last stage of our three week road trip to Santa Cruz and back and we have been very lucky with the weather this year when so many storms have been predicted. 
Now we see 35 mph winds lashing the Bahamas and a track that goes right over the Keys. About the time we plan to arrive at home! It is sort of ironic, a warning slap from Mother Nature but we will be home for the rest of the season, which peaks usually in September, so doubtless there will be many more to come. This one, so far, promises wind and rain with God knows what sort of a mess to come in the oil drenched Gulf. That's where we should be looking and wondering if this modest depression is a harbinger of all sorts of Gulf of Mexico messes to come this hurricane season.

Now, Conchy, wouldn't you consider yourself somewhat of a traitor if you weren't there for the first hurricane of the season???
