OK - So I Lied

So I thought I was doing better. Today's been fer shit, physically and mentally, but ya do what ya gots to do, right?

I was doing some looking into this terrible hurricane season the Chicken Littles have been telling us about. It turns out that these 17 named storms we've had so far have been a bit of a joke. Don't believe me? Try this -

Hurricanes that hit -
The U.S. 3 1/2 (Ophelia really was a near miss)
Mexico 1
The Carib 0

Tropical Storms that hit -
The U.S. 2
Mexico 2
The Carib 2

That looks to me to be 10 1/2 storms, which would take us to "K" in names. The other six? They were named pretty much as soon as they started spinning off the African coast and never came near any land mass larger than Michael Moore's ego. Don't believe me? Go here and see for yourself.

Maybe if the hurricane center would name storms when they have even a slight chance of affecting land, we'd see this season is no worse that most others.

Of course that's just my opinion. I could be outta my freakin' mind.
