It is wrong to give Tropical Storms and Hurricanes names. This is very stressful to people who have the same name give to them. I had a friend who could not use her give first name for several years. I took 6 months before she would talk to her parents. She choose to go by Wendy instead. She felt that no one could be so instinctive as to name a storm “Wendy”. I told her that they have never used names starting with Q, U, X, Y, Z. You would think in our overly political correct society the would have already been addressed.

Numbers have problems too! What if the number matched something in your life. The number in line at the dry cleaners or the floor you work or live on. Irrational numbers might be a solution but they would take the news media too long to say them and people would die because they didn’t evacuate in time.

Some days I like to self identify as the number one plus the square root of five divided by two. But for now I don’t need to fear this happening.

When you have it all figured out, will you help us pick up the tree branches, twigs and leaves that have littered our street, driveway, and swimming pool?
