Fine, why 1963?

That was when I first was slapped in the head, that things weren't going down the right path.  Too late to warn Goldilocks or Red Riding Hood though.

May the random operations of the universe work in your favor...

Weak tea that.  Do you put all your monthly retirement income into Lotto tickets too?

And Republicans love job creators.

They love bribes.  They don't create jobs anymore, except in China and India.

I had a book on seamanship one time that explained how you could tell where you were in a hurricane by keeping track of which way the wind is coming at you and in which way it is turning direction in relation to you.  If thus and so, you were in the NW quadrant (and therefore you should work your way to the bla bla side) by heading some bla bla direction relative to the wind.  Compass directions were only used to determine wind direction, but useless in figuring out what quadrant you were in, and which way you had to go to be safe.  That seemed like a concept I could sink my teeth into, but no matter how many times I read the explanation or the directions, nothing ever made sense.  Not in a way that I disagreed with it, however.  It was so far beyond the limits of my comprehension, that after reading it several times, and doing my best to open my mind, I didn't have a clue what the book was saying, or how the concepts worked.  I stopped trying to understand it, and just decided it would be better not to think about hurricanes when I'm sailing.

Works every time ... in the Bermuda Triangle.

Irma is now the size of Texas.

It's already the most powerful hurricane in recorded Atlantic Ocean history! At least, until Jose gets even more powerful.

Well, that should create a lot of jobs...
Actually yes. While everything is going on of course I won't be able to work, but afterwards I expect a lot of business for anyone involved in construction. Of course, looking at a natural disaster that will displace and/or kill thousands as a business opportunity is sickening, but it's true.

Hurricane Irma may hit Tennessee instead of NC, sparing us the worst of the storm.

That seems remarkably far inland.

Nobody is bigger than Texas ... not even Alaska ;-)

Yes, so the hurricane will not get bigger.  Texas won't allow it ;-)
