Bertha. I think I hate that name more than just about any of 'em. But if she becomes a major hurricane that'll mean that a new girl joins my Cabbage Patch with that name. I've already done it thrice, with Beryl June and Idalia Gale...
...and with Alice Helene.
For the record, I also hate the name "Beryl," LOL. And if I insulted the name of anyone's relative, my great-grandmother went by the name "Maud," and I loathe that name too. Her first name was "Anna," so why she went by the name "Maud" was anyone's guess.
Regarding predictions for the hurricane season, the summer is expected to be an El Nino summer, so hurricane season may not be very active. If we do have any names retired, I predict that it'll either be one of the fancy ones (Gonzalo or Isaias, for example) or one of the basic ones (like Kyle or Sally). We'll see.
Breezy love,

Here's hoping for a mild season and that the weather doesn't "rock you like a hurricane".
ReplyDeleteGood Lord, yes! We don't need another Helene!
DeleteI hope it will be a calm season. As for me, I learned to fear tornados, sitting in the hallway with the radio, and my terrified mother. I have a name story too My dad's first name was Elliot, but he chose to go by his middle name, Leroy. What's wrong with Elliot? I don't like my first name, have nothing against my middle name, but I especially hate being called by both. Tammy Sue sounds like a cliche hillbilly. And you have a beautiful name, and prefer Raging Moon. Eye of the beholder.
ReplyDeleteI'll try to remember not to call you that should we meet. Names are just so weird! I don't mean to make you sound old, but were you living in Ohio when the 1965 Palm Sunday Outbreak occurred? Indiana took it the worst, but Ohio got hit hard too. I can't remember if you've lived anywhere else (I've only ever known Missouri, LOL).
DeleteWell, I AM old. Yes. I was three when that happened. I've never heard of it though I had to look it up. Apart from the four months I lived in London, I have lived my whole life in Ohio. Poor me.
ReplyDeleteOh, I wouldn't say that's a bad thing! I've never been to Ohio myself, but I'd love to take a gander. Once upon a time I'd have liked to have hiked some of the rail trails in Xenia, but...well, I'm crippled, dammit.
DeleteIf you ever make it here we'll go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and visit Barn while we're there. (Not that she lives at the Hall...)
DeleteSounds like a plan!
DeleteObviously that was supposed to say "Barb", not Barn! I hate typing on my phone!
DeleteLOL, I understood who you meant!
