The calm before the storm
by owen
The sky is clear - the sun is hot. Probably hotter than ever (or maybe I've never been outside at mid-day) it's a bueatiful day. A couple hours before hurricane Ivan hits jamaica. The country is currently being locked down, the stores are over crowded and traffic is heavy. It's so crowded that people might get trapped at the supermarket - not that it would be bad. If you think about it, it might not be a bad place to be - unlimited food, magazines, and fresh bottled water. Anyway, the most powerfull hurricane in 15 years or since my rain post - is about to hit Jamaica. ETA Thursday September 09, 2004 just about 10 hours or less from now. The photo is from St. Catherine, Jamaica. In about 2 hours from the time I post this, public electricity might be disconnected, most business will be closed and the looting might begin. In either case it's expected to be "devastating".
Hopefully I'll be back on monday, stay dry, and walk good.

The good old days. Strider, Donkey Kong classics, Megman 3, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Legend of Zelda from back in the day when it was more about the game than the graphics.

The sky is blue
by owen
When you live in the topics and then venture off to New York or some other none tropical country, you grow to appreciate and even miss the clear blue sky. And yes it hot out here, freaking hot at that but I would trade in cold winter nights for a frying pan any day. At least you can get away from it in the shade but not the cold. The cold is every where. I might have liked snow but I don't think it's worth it at all.

michael halvorsen commented: i don't mind the cold & the winter here in ohio. the weather really varies here. i would like to travel to the tropics soon again, and most likely will within the next 2 years.
its all a state of mind. i don't really like the cold or the snow, but at times, it can be beautiful. it all depends on how you feel and whats going on. i hate waking up in the morning and starting my car after i get out of the shower & get dressed. i don't like waking up and leaving the house when its snowing to go to school or work, but when i don't have to be anywhere but home, the snow is beautiful. i can lay on the couch next to the patio door and fall alseep looking out. i can wake up, get dressed, and go outside and play in the snow (yeah, i'm 18:).
everything is relative & a state of mind. ... read 4 more
