Hurricane Georges is passing over the Keys today and 250 lay dead in its wake.  We have battened down the hatches here but I expect to be up through the night checking for trees blown over from the high winds.

 

He was late to work and his secretary didn’t show up, so he was agitated, but he took a few minutes to walk around the yard briefly and look the situation over.  He’s very bright and immediately recognized the need for more and better cabins, better  facilities to attract the money people and the political  powers I need.  As usual he got hung up on doing a survey first.  I don’t know what it is with him and surveys.  I know where my property lines are and I know where my buildings are and paying someone $3000.00 to tell me what I already know seems like a waste of time and money.

 

Maybe he has some reason he just hasn’t made clear to me yet.  His next two priorities seemed to be lighting the place up and roads.  These are needed, but, in my opinion, not as important as getting the cats comfortable.  I felt myself getting defensive because I have all of the unresolved issues with Don trying to sabotage my every effort and I don’t want to get into that again.  He noticed my left eye twitching as it does when I get upset and I brought to his attention the fact that he has the same problem with his left eye which is just too weird.  The last person I ever knew who had such a condition was Mary Mero my Jr. High English teacher.  He and I have so much in common.  I hope this is good but mostly it just feels weird.

 

Hurricane Georges was a powerful and long-lived Cape Verde-type Category 4 hurricane which caused severe destruction as it traversed the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico in September 1998, making seven landfalls along its path. Georges was the seventh tropical storm, fourth hurricane, and second major hurricane of the 1998 Atlantic hurricane season. It became the second most destructive storm of the season after Hurricane Mitch and the costliest Atlantic hurricane since Hurricane Andrew in 1992.

 

Georges killed 604 people, mainly on the island of Hispaniola, and caused extensive damage resulting at just under $10 billion (1998 US dollars, $14.1 billion 2015 USD) in damages mostly in St. Kitts and Nevis, Puerto Rico and Hispaniola.

 

The hurricane made landfall in at least seven different countries (Antigua and Barbuda, St. Kitts and Nevis, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Cuba and the United States) and Puerto Rico, a Commonwealth of the United States — more than any other hurricane since Hurricane Inez of the 1966 season.

 

I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/

 

I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story.  My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.
