So Tropical Storm Danny is coming to ruin my last Fire Island weekend. Here I was hoping to finish off my tan while sporting a bikini and instead I might as well bring my galoshes and a poncho. I'm thrilled. Really. No matter how many times I refresh the page, I still don't see any suns Fri-Sun. But I did happen to notice that apparently the weather people name the storms ahead of time. Am I the only person who didn't know they did that? I guess I never thought about where or when the names originated, but now I sorta feel like I've met the Wizard. All of the surprise is gone, I've seen all of the names now. And WTF is up with these names? Hurricane Fred? Ida? IDA? Is this a 1930's hurricane? Joaquin? Hurricane Joaquin. That's a mouthful. Say that 5 times fast...

I knew. They recycle the list of names every few years. And they retire the names of notable storms (like Katrina) so that they will never be used again.
Me so smart. Hire me?
