Alberto

Well, the '06 Hurricane Season is less than two weeks old, and we already have our first named storm: Alberto.

I'm not exactly shaking in my boots, yet. This despite local media efforts to put the fear of God into us all.

Indeed, Alberto's trek is supposed to cross the "Sunshine" State.

But, in all actuality, we can use the rain.

The land is parched, the lakes are low, and wildfires are becoming a concern. A little rain would be a good thing.

Besides, we can't have drought conditions curtail our plans for a fireworks extravaganza next month!
