While we complain about the bad air in the this region, the folks in the Caribbean are facing a new hurricane (Irma), stronger than Hurricane Harvey that recently resulted in devastation in Texas. Sometimes you just have to put things in perspective and be thankful. This new hurricane is a Category 5 that has already caused destruction on several islands and is expected to hit southern Florida this weekend. We have several co-workers at the visitor center that own homes in Florida. One of those is in Miami which will be close to the center of the storm. She has a sister there that is keeping an eye on developments, but there is nothing she can do except pray that it doesn't result in too much damage to her property - and that her family remains OK through the storm. Suddenly, it isn't so bad here.
These last three weeks at work will be challenge with the small staff that remains. We lost another girl yesterday as she had to leave to do training before starting her teaching job in Idaho. The weekends will be especially tough as there are only three of us scheduled to cover both Saturday and Sunday on the remaining weekends. Hopefully, the business volume won't be overwhelming.
The weather is beginning to show signs of Fall. It has been in the mid 30's on each of the last several mornings, so the color changes will begin to accelerate now. We are probably a week or two away from getting some good photos of these changes...
