another thunderstorm rolls in

must be that time of afternoon again--almost always rolling in from the west--the tropical stuff usually comes from the east, or the south, or the north, or the west-i guess based on wherever the storm is----wow, was that profound or what? anyway, i just know that since a tropical storm/hurricane spins counterclockwise, for those of us on the east coast, if you are north of the eye, you get the worst of it--on the gulfcoast, if you're east of it, that is why when Katrina hit around New Orleans, the Mississippi Gulf Coast got the worst of the wind---a real shame, i love that part of the Gulf Coast, Pass Christian, Bay St. Louis, Gulfport, especially Biloxi (but not the casinos) and Ocean Springs--home of the great artist Walter Inglis (Bob) Anderson and Shearwater Pottery, which he helped his family run---he lived an interesting life, i can't do it justice-read Wikipedia-----Biloxi--i remember the great shrimp and soft shell blue crabs and the Biloxi bacon (mullet)---and one of my all-time favorite restaraunts--Mary Mahoney's--home of the greatest beignets and coffee---and located in a group of buildings that dated back to Napoleon's time.

Let's see. song of the day, hmmmm, Aaron Neville--Ave Maria---his voice is unreal---or. let's see, anything by Preservation Hall jazz band out of New Orleans, or cajun music by Zydeco or Doug Kershaw (no, not Sammy Kershaw-he's country)

For what it's worth, I think south of the equator tropical cyclones spin clockwise--i think--i know in Oz (Australia) that when you flush the john, the water swirls clockwise--no, i didn't believe it either until i saw it--of course, i was there for a week before i realized what exactly was different when i flushed---yes, i am that observant and i did notice Oz women a long time before that-but that is a story for another day--

take care
