Get used to hearing about Fay.
No, she’s not being considered for the vice presidential spot by either John McCain or Barack Obama.
And, so far as I know, she has not had an affair with John Edwards.
But she will be the talk of the town this week.
Fay is a tropical storm. Not a hurricane, mind you. A tropical storm. At least right now.
She is about 1,500 miles south of us, having hammered Haiti and the Dominican Republic and blown over Cuba with winds clocked at 50 mph, she now is taking aim at the Florida Keys. Fay is expected to hit Florida tonight. The fear is that once back out over the Gulf of Mexico, she could strengthen and hit hurricane status.
What does all this have to do with us? Everything. This is weather, after all. Bad weather. Stormy weather. That makes it important, or so the folks on TV will tell us incessantly over the next couple of days.
Me? All I want to know is whether this will mean rain for us later in the week.
But first we’ll have to deal with a week of the “Say Fay” kid.
