September! The month that gives us fall! I always look forward to cooler weather and the promise of snow. Some of the older folks around here say that because of our cooler summer that we will get a major hurricane and they ain't liking it...they say they've noticed a pattern, these are people in their 80's. So it will be interesting to see. If a Harvey hits Mathews County, this county will be history.
Been seeing all this stuff about it has been 142 months since the last major hurricane. That would be just short of 12 years. Without thinking too hard I come up with hurricanes Hannah, Irene, Gustav, "Super Storm" Sandy, Ike, and Matthew. Some say those hurricanes didn't make landfall. When I show them the evidence (like they've forgotten all the images already?!) they say well, it has to be a Cat 3 or higher. Show 'em the evidence and they shut up. I emailed the National Hurricane Center but have not heard back yet. When you look at the stats (damages, death, destruction, etc) on each one, you can't fucking convince me we ain't had any major hurricanes in nearly 12 years!
I understand that another sweet soul has passed away too soon. Damn shame. Seems like the sweet ones are the ones who have to endure the most shit. One of the worst things in the world is to be betrayed, and then to have an STD on top of it...that has to be the most horrible thing to happen to someone. But seems there was a lot of that going around...
And this is interesting...had an email from a former (who shall forever remain a former friend) friend. This friend used to bitch to me right and left about some mutual friends of ours and ask me if she was "right" to feel offended, to feel snubbed, etc. I still have them emails in my old mail folder. So this person wants me to forgive 'n' forget and maybe be friends again. I don't forgive, I ain't Jesus (tho I used to be convinced it was my real name!) and I gots the memory of an elephant so I don't forget. I thought for a minute about what to reply and then thought, why reply? Be a waste of time, I don't want to hear no more about certain cretins and what they've done now or forgotten to do or whatever. Just ain't interested. So I will just let that email sit in the old mail file. When someone shows you what they are, believe them. And this person is no one I want to be friends with ever again. That door is nailed shut!
And now off to get some of that yummy peach ice cream I made from our homegrown peaches!
