Hurricane Gustav coming ashore. September 1, 2008.
Betsy has a new man in her life!
I didn’t realize, until after we were married, what a ‘weather’ person Betsy is. She is absolutely fascinated by weather — all kinds of weather. She has several weather widgets on her computer desktop. I can’t count the number of weather sites she has bookmarked in her internet browser. But I do know that the Weather Channel is her favorite television channel!
I must admit that I found Betsy’s fascination with weather to be slightly amusing. Huricanes, blizzards, rainstorms and floods all get her attention. Of course, since she used to live in New Orleans, anything effecting that city really gets her attention. She was delighted to find that DirecTV was broadcasting a local New Orleans station with hurricane coverage nationwide. She watched that quite a bit Sunday evening.
Still, I didn’t think too much about Gustav until very early yesterday morning. About 4 o’clock I heard a noise in the living room and woke up to find my bride watching New Orleans television coverage of Gustav!!!
Gustav will still cause a lot of rain in Louisiana and Texas, but I for one am glad the main infatuation is over. The next hurricane is Hanna, so that doesn’t worry me so much. But they’ve just announced that hurricane Ike is on the way. I wonder how much sleep I’ll get when he gets here?
