Got hurricane season mindset already

The start of hurricane season is still a few weeks away.

Yet we're already in that mode, June 1 or not.

The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has put us in that frame of mind.

We watch the news every day, assuming BP still can't stop the leak, to see where the mess is going.

When it's apparent it's still heading toward the other side of the Gulf, we react the same way we would if it was a Category 4 hurricane.

Whew!

Any sense of relief is only fleeting.

Unlike a hurricane which eventually blows itself out after landfall, the oil spill is a different animal.

A monster.

Pray it stays away.

Or BP plugs the leak.

Like yesterday.
