We are doing the Hurricane Trance...this is dance that you will see many Floridians (transplants and natives) do when there is a disturbance in the Atlantic or the Gulf.  You can see them driving around with a blank expression deep in thought of what they "should" be doing.  They can also be spotted in the stores mindlessly stacking water and can goods in their shopping carts; because it is what the media has told them to do.  We sit in front of our TVs much like the entire country did after 9-11 waiting for the weather up dates every three hours, for days on end because as you may know hurricanes tend to give you many days advanced notice.  Every channel giving their description of the "cone of probability".  And even with all this technology, we still don't fully know where a storm is going to make land fall until it's bearing down on us. 

I can't say that I'm fully excluded from this Hurricane Trace.  However, I am well over hearing about this storm every time I speak with someone or turn on the TV.  I'm still spread out between here and there...kinda kicking myself for not just moving last weekend and getting it over with.  I just keep telling myself that everything happens for a reason.
