I REALLY hate hurricanes

Okay, here's the deal. Our Boy Scout Troop (yeah, i bet you're thinking it's lame, but this trip is awesome) goes to Florida every couple of years to sail in the Keys. Last time was sweet. We did some spear fishing (almost got bit by 3 8-foot sharks last time, but that's another story), swimming, shark fishing, etc... plus, we stopped in Key West which was pretty cool.

Anyways, we were supposed to set sail this morning, but while we were chillin' in Cocoa Beach, the base called us and cancelled. Consequently, we shot back to Pittsburgh in 2 days. From what I hear, Key West and the surrounding area didn't even get hurricane damage.

I'm pretty mad because that trip would have been sweet and all the cool guys are going to college next year. Unfortunately, I could go next year, but it would be with all the dumb kids.

And what's even worse is the fact that we ran from a hurricane named "Bonnie." I'd feel a little better if it was intimidating, like "Hurricane Excalibur".

If it had been just Bonnie, we could have stayed, but Charlie was messing up the other half. I think there should be some sort of penalty for two hurricanes at a time. That's like opening a second gallon of milk before the other is finished...

Gah...

we got bonny yesterday (4" rain per hour) it lasted about 3 hours, then we get the eye of charlie today! yay!!!

i heard only 3 died

hey all you, stick with the Scouts, Eagle is well worth it. having mine helped me get hired by the 2 corporations i've worked for. but hurricanes do mean money for clearing downed limbs, think of it that way. then you can do more to your cocker. and Go to Philmont. it's awesome.
