So, we have another storm out there, and while the early track showed it making landfall right here, the latest shows it staying far offshore, but with the same arc as Dorian.  Hoping it skips the northern Bahamas, and us.  Maybe a wave-maker, but predictions show a lot of on-shore wind, which will make a mess of the swell.  We’ll see.  Not boarding up; a low-grade tropical disturbance at worst.  Whatever.  Pretty tired of all this.  Blustery winds already; with rain predicted.  We need it.

Meanwhile, sitting out back a couple evenings ago, we saw this rascal on the palm next to us.  You have to hand it to nature for this kind of camouflage, but I’m still not sure it’ll fool our snakes.  Just don’t move, dude.

And while we generally work to stay clear of politics in The Skinny Island Post, the photo below caught our eye on a recent jaunt through wonderful Lake County, Florida.  Let’s just call it “Social Commentary.”
