Here It Is Come And Get Her.. Karen




So... if you want it.. here it is...come and get it...
but you better hurry because it may not last...

For you Cape Verde Lovers... here it is come and get it..
but you better hurry because it's going fast

Where is it going? That is the 64 gazillion dollar question..
Wouldn't you like to know?

You see I have this cute little Tiki Hut in front of my house for the Jewish Holiday of Sukkos which always coincides with some hurricane to our south threatening..

a similar but different one:




Asking the ever present question? What do I put on the top? Will I have to take it down and put up shutters or do I figure it's made of bamboo and oh hell.. just let it blow away to Timbuktu..

September Rain in Miami.. heavy morning downpours and it's so dark I couldn't even get a normal picture of the skyline. Biscayne Bay is higher than I ever remember it being.. swollen, almost over washing the banks onto the grass on Collins Avenue in areas where there isn't a high bank or dock. Really, really swollen. Have I ever mentioned this before? No.. don't think so. I saw it yesterday, today it's higher..

If we were to get some storm after a week of this: OUCH!

Here's a cute model we call the Canadian which blows up a storm down in the very warm waters of Florida Bay .. I imagine from this system but pressures will have to drop as Jim Williams says on HurricaneCity..and Jim knows.

cute model on speed for real disaster lovers:

As for me.. I'm freezing from getting soaked running into the building and waiting for the Columbian coffee to finish brewing that Carlos put up a while ago and looping loops and for some reason.. I had this overwhelming need to hear this song this morning so... I youtubed it! God I love youtubed. After Google... it's like an Aladdin's Lamp... or crystal ball you can look in and learn or hear almost anything you want.. while looping the water vapor loop, of course..

Enjoy the lyrics and sing along.. while staring at Tropical Storm Karen do her thing, something really special about Karen but.. will it go the way of Ingrid or stick around for the main course?

..................

If you want it here it is, come and get it.
Make your mind up fast.

If you want it anytime I can give it
but you better hurry 'cos it may not last.

Did I hear you say that there must be a catch
will you walk away from a fool and his money

If you want it, here it is, come and get it,
but you better hurry 'cos it's going fast.

If you want it here it is, come and get it,
make your mind up fast.

If you want it anytime I can give it,
but you'd better hurry 'cos it may not last.

Did I hear you say that there must be a catch
will you walk away from a fool and his money

Sonny, if you want it, here it is, come and get it
but you'd better hurry 'cos it's going fast.
You'd better hurry 'cos it's going fast.

Fool and his money.

Sonny, if you want it, here it is, come and get it,
but you'd better hurry 'cos it's going fast,
you'd better hurry 'cos it's going fast,
you'd better hurry 'cos it's going fast.

Well... which ever version you like.. enjoy Karen while you got her because she may not last... or maybe she will. Will she come for Sukkos or swim out to sea??

Miami.. Sukkos.... it was much nicer in California but... it's better than being in New York where you have to worry about keeping the windows tightly shut and the bees out because they can smell the drops of honey on the table from dipping the Challah into the honey... I love Sukkot

It's a harvest festival.. Jewish style :)
Get With the Program lol.

More on Karen later after some new model's come in.. and more on the rain in Florida... but as always in life a Cape Verde Storm is the biggest priority. Rain is Rain but a Cape Verde that doesn't follow the game plan can be one big... pain in the... Sukkoth!
