Hello Mike,
Hello Everybody, I made a boo-boo the other day. Insulted the
Mighty Thor. And now I am facing the Wrath of Thor. I never
realized how powerful a Hammer can be. But it seems I am about to
find out.

Cajuns have only a pirogue and paddle to escape such things.
Headed straight for me is not one, but two huge hurricanes. Both
in the Gulf of Mexico (at the same time) making a beeline to
Louisiana, with me being dead center. I have survived many
hurricanes during my lifetime. But never have I had to face two
hurricanes hitting me at the same time. Talk about a double
whammy. If one doesn't get me, the other one will. I am doomed, I
tell you. Doomed.
We even had a tropical storm hit northern Wisconsin this year.
I had a hurricane follow me around across the country years ago.
Went along the Gulf coast through Florida then up the Atlantic coast
to New York and then inland to the Great Lakes. Thought it might
actually make it all the way back to the Gulf of Mexico and do
another tour.
Had another hurricane hit, then do a loop-the-loop and hit me again.
Another one hit me in Louisiana, then hit me in Florida, then hit me
in Louisiana again. That was back when I wore a t-shirt that had a
bulls-eye on it.
I don't get what all the fuss was about, it delivered less rain than a couple normal storms last month.
I was at the beach in Biloxi a week before Hurricane Camille hit.
Had a great time. The hotel was first class, and packed. The hurricane
totally wiped out not just the hotel, but entire subdivisions. Kind
of like a nuclear bomb having been detonated. Just nothing left.
You can still find remnants today. Streets with no houses, just empty
grass and weeds where those houses used to be.
Hurricane Camille was small, only about sixty miles in diameter.
Hurricane Katrina was huge, many times larger than Camille, but the
winds were not as high. Both kinds of storms are dangerous.
So. Say your prayers. And hope the bogey man doesn't get you.
By Odin's beard, Frigg's ample bosom, Bragi's eloquent prose, and Baldr's stunning visage!
If I wind up with a hole in my pirogue I may be sunk.
Without a pirogue, I would need a rope.
Tie myself to a tree.
Hope I don't drown or get carried away.
