It's Almost Over....
OK, it's November 29, and we all know what that means! OK, maybe not...for those not used to watching the weather in the Atlantic and Caribbean, there's only one more day left in hurricane season. This was one of the calmest years I can remember, and boy did we deserve it after getting slammed the last two years. Hopefully this will not only give residents time to continue rebuilding, but also allow Florida's citrus industry to recover. If you've been paying more for orange juice, that will be good news for you, too.
Meteorologists are attributing the relative lack of hurricane activity in part to El Nino -- yes, the same El Nino that creates so much weather chaos elsewhere actually does create conditions unfavorable to hurricane development in the Atlantic. While it is possible to have hurricanes form after the official end of the season, such storms are exceedingly rare, and tend to be less severe.
That "expert" at Colorado State blew it again. I've always considered that suspect. I mean, really...if you want to study hurricanes, you probably ought to do it from someplace just a little bit closer to where they actually exist.

The caveman ads are okay. My main problem with Geico's advertising is that it's so fragmented -- they have the cavemen (I only see one caveman now, but when they first appeared, I got the definite impression they were a couple), thay have the gecko, they have the folks on the motorcycles. If you're not paying attention, you could start to think these are all different companies.
