"I need a hurricane before I go insane" - Alan Jackson & Jimmy Buffett

It’s not even half past 12 but I don’t care, its 5 o’clock somewhere. A nice little diddy but that’s not the kind of hurricane to which I was referring (Although, I do have a half finished bottle of Bacardi Superior Puerto Rican rum in my bottom desk drawer (for emergencies). Actually, that was given to me by B prior to her recent deployment – No Sailor ever feels the need to let good liquor go to waste, I think they can be sent to Captain’s Mast for that.

If you are familiar with my little pie-shaped state, then it’s obvious that all inhabitants of the local area are battening down the hatches in preparation for Hurricane Hanna. I honestly don’t think it’s going to be that bad- just some wind and some rain BUT I am glad that it’s getting me out of working this weekend.

The only issue I foresee this hurricane giving me is delays in getting together content for the next issue of the paper. I already lost time for Monday (Labor Day – which is funny because the entire nation takes off work that day) and now the base will most likely be shut down on Friday. What? Military personnel are expected to dodge bullets but the minute Mother Nature enters the picture, well that’s a bitch we don’t want our men and women to toil with? Like I said, it’s getting me out of work this weekend, so I am happy about that.

Enough of the sarcasm and doom. I have yet to mention my recent vacation so I did want to share a few pictures from mine and Christopher's adventures :
