Mother Nature's Monthlies

Thank goodness for the Midwestern USA. Nothing too bad weather related really touches us here except the occassional tornado and I haven't had one so much as ruffle the hairs on the back of my neck for years. Hmm well we've had our share of floods along the Mississippi and we even had a tiny earthquake here a year ago, but tuck yourself in the Northeast corner of Illinois and you're safe from mother nature. Yeah we got it pretty good here but unfortunately it's Hurricane and Typhoon season in the coastal areas and things are lookig bad. Katrina made a big mess of the Gulf region and angry people there are helping to make a worse mess, what with looting shops and shooting at those who try to help them. I don't think it was very nice for the rescue teams to give them the cold shoulder for a few measly gun shots, right? What is Kevlar for anyway?
Anyway, it wasn't Blackhawk Down (although it was pretty similar, minus the actual crashing of helicopters, if you think about it). Another big swirly rainy wind is having it's way in Taiwan right now. A typhoon is pissing rain and blowing wind all over the place out east too(east coast of China). Let's hope for them that there isn't any damage or lives taken but that seems too good to be true. Mama nature is an angry bitch lately... maybe all the pollutions is going to her head or she's tired of being drilled and humped all day for oil and having us kill each other for it. Blow some sense into us Mama Nature, you're going have to try harder because your last hissy fit just made a bunch of people loot stores and a bunch of big oil companies loot the people's pockets.
