The Good, The Bad & Invest 94L

Thanks to Invest 94L, which seems to have stalled over the Gulf of Mexico for the past 3 days, we have had nothing but rain since our return to the island. It is one of the things that I don't like about living in south Florida. The earlier part of the summer is wonderful, warm Gulf water, no snow birds, no crowds, 2 for 1 dinner specials at our favorite restaurants, lazy afternoons floating in the pool. Then along comes August, the heat and humidity are over the top and the storm clouds gather. If tropical activity is out there we're going to be on the receiving end of it in some form or fashion. Like yesterday, when it rained all day long. No violent storms, just wave upon wave of heavy rain showers.

However, I have it on good authority that high pressure is building in and it is going to be a beautiful day today.

If that good authority is actually accurate and we all know about those weathermen...they don't always get it right. Not even close. But if today is one of those days, and I'm choosing to go with the glass half full here, I'm heading to the beach. Or maybe, just maybe, I can talk The Kid into a little boat ride around the island this morning.

Yes, it's good to be back home, Invest 94L and all.
