Tangible Tropical

I spent the last couple of days at work helping prepare things for Wilma's potential arrival on Monday. It feels a lot like a distant, not-going-to-happen event — maybe just denial at work — and a lot of people seem to share that perspective. Or did, at least, until a rainstorm swept through about 5:00. Then, suddenly, you could see the look on people's faces: this might really be happening again.

The woman in the office next to me stated, "Idaho's looking lovely."
