Like a house guest that just doesn't know when to leave, Tropical Storm Fay is still here. And apparently will continue to linger around for at least 2 more days! Puh-leese!Yet another day out of work though (paid, of course), and with the post office up an running, I have lots of time to view my latest Netflix selections.
Other than being cloudy and drizzly here in Lake Mary, nothing else different from an ordinary day. Maybe a little breezy...not much though. I think most people went to work today and will probably do so tomorrow as well despite the storm lurking about 30 miles to the east.
I took advantage of the free time, did some house cleaning, went shopping, went to the post office, went out for lunch with Ric to the Olive Garden. (I sound like a 70-year old retiree, LOL!)
Other than the talking heads on the non-stop TV news reports, everything here is quite normal. Of course the reason the news is all amped-up is because Brevard County to our southeast isn't faring so well. They got beach erosion and lots of flooding. Even a tornado apparently. Yikes. Brevard County is the area around Cocoa Beach, Melbourne, Cape Canaveral etc. (where I vacationed 3 weeks ago).
Well at least the TV news is giving us a little tiny bit of a break in their non-stop, incessant coverage of Casey Anthony, the suspicious mother of the now-infamously missing little 3-year old Caylee. For countless weeks now, the news coverage of this local-turned-national story has been endless.
It's so reminiscent of the other missing baby saga of a couple years ago, also with a suspicious mom, also from Florida, Trent Duckett. That's the one where the mom suddenly killed herself after a brutally critical TV interview with Nancy Grace.
In both cases, people refuse to accept what is obviously the same fact: the fucked up mothers who had no ability to adequately care for a house plant let alone a little baby killed their kids. Why is that so hard to believe? 'Cause there's no body? How freakin' hard would it be to make a small 3-year old child disappear forever? Oh but it'd be considered cold-hearted to voice this opinion. Or, in our world of "if you can think it, then you could do it" mentality, one might be looked at as a possible suspect themselves. Argh, get a grip people!
Anyway, I greatly digress. It must be the low air pressure of this "storm" that, unlike a murdered baby, just won't go away...
*************UPDATE: 8:12 pm**************
1. Okay, I can see some swayin' o' the trees now as the night envelops us. The rain has decided to come down in great sheets now, too. Hmm. But, I got the call from Jill an hour or so ago...we are going in to work tomorrow. So get it out of your system tonite, Fay...especially since the accident I really don't like driving in the rain anymore. (Not that I ever especially did, of course...duh!)
But, uh oh, look at her movement! Nothing! Have you ever heard of that!? Dead Stopped!
2. I was channel-surfing just a couple minutes ago, and I happened to flip past Court TV (or whatever name they're going by now). And who was on devoting her show to her vehement disapproval of the fact Casey Anthony is getting bailed out of jail?...Nancy Grace!
She won't be satisfied 'till this one commits suicide too. Lady, let the court system do it's job. We are not a mob rule society.Well, not yet!
