After forecasts of today being one of the windiest days of the year, here on Culebra...hey, it's getting pretty windy! But nothing like sustained gale force winds as predicted. Just windy enough to blow away the biting things of various sizes. A blue sky all day and now going to grey-ish and rockin'. Ok...it's getting a little more windy now. Maybe the forecast was a half day late?
As long as I remember to hook the majorly huge bungee cord onto the umbrella at the cart at the right points...a poor lady today was close to being speared as the concrete filled 5 gallon bucket that holds the umbrella gave up the fight in a burst of wind and the eight foot umbrella came hurtling her way...my oopsy! Luckily, nobody was hurt...bad PR when Island Woman Umbrella Attacks Tourist Woman On Culebra.
Some people may not like high winds, but I like the energy of it all (well, I'm on land...there ya go)...um... even when it blows my book off the table - did that just happen???

Yes, but will you feel the same when MJ world becomes Waterworld?

| Pretty windy here on the gulf coast of Florida so it must be a pretty wide system. We had a tornado watch last night but don't expect any sympathy given the weather up north. Big question was, what do we grab and take with us if the warning siren goes?

As usual, my dear bro, your timing is perfect!
I had just gotten done with downtown for a few minutes (came home to print hot sauce labels and get sauce down to Susie's) but on the way saw Chaffa <sp?> who is my reason for being on Valentine's Day (can we sing Tradition??). I thought I'd missed her in the early day, but of course...there she was! To my "You look beautiful!" she sang back "Everyone looks beautiful on Valentine's Day...even me!"
I had lunch time with a friend along with my sometimes early cocktail (hey, when you go to bed at 8, and start the day at dawn...cocktail hour is early!). But I had to go to the PO and the bank...where else can you go to the bank with your drink still in hand and your banker saying, how good is this life? (since she saw me while she was having lunch...and offered to make my deposit for me...holy moley!...I'll save that for a more needed day).
Falling in love with Culebra all over again - again...don't try this at home, kids (in fact, don't try it on Culebra...it was my lucky day).
Happy Valentine's Day!
Feliz de dia amor (if I screwed that up, I know Paw's Nest will let me know)!

| MJ: you were very closed. Feliz dia del amor. We also say: Feliz dia de la amistad = Happy Friendship Day. But yours is the most common. Congratulatios! I know you are really trying and one of these days you'll make it.
