Weather Has Become Bogeyman
The weather freaks me out!
Right after Hellicane Katrina, I was personally introduced to Rita and the mass exodus of South Texas. The chaos the weather now creates is enormous.
Yep, this bogeyman is real and this time "unslayable" in our dreams.

It began as a mass e-mail in a certain Seattle office building on December's first day.
A cold front was arriving! Snow! Ice! Untold inches for the city and surrounding area!
Within hours, the e-mail exchange called for an early dismissal and even generated a catchy headline, the kind that television news offers up for every tempest: "Snowstorm Katrina."
A memo went out: "Please be aware that many or all of the staff will be leaving early today as snow and icy road conditions have hit Seattle." A last call was sounded for overnight mail. Copy writers and bookkeepers turned into amateur meteorologists, e-mailing hourly weather updates to colleagues, and sending links to live weather cams.
The cautious drove home after lunch. The brave stayed behind.
And the snow never came. Not even an inch.
