I’m not getting this hurricane season at all.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m enjoying the peace and quiet. But this time last year you couldn’t risk facing east while you sneezed, lest you cause a tropical depression to spin up.

This year we’ve seen event after event start to loom, only to fade out like a cheesy ghost at the “Haunted Mansion”. Here it is almost the season peak and feeble Alberto has been the only thing to even drop some rain on our grateful heads.

*Something* is different between this year and last. Maybe salinity or temperature or pressure or sunspots, but *something*.

And I hope the Scientists and Experts are sampling anything and everything they can to try to figure out what.
