Whew - No Ike Here

Yesterday my husband informed me that hurricane season was half over. Then Ike struck Texas. Is is just my imagination or are there more catastrophic natural disasters this decade than last?

I am certainly glad to live in a place that has four seasons and only four seasons: winter, spring, summer and fall. It's rather dull actually - nothing like hurricane season, tornado season, monsoon season, rainy season, dry season or tourist season.

Well, it's pretty tame around here unless you count beauty and outdoor recreation. If that is what you're looking for then the Colorado Plateau/Four Corners Region is an extreme place to live.
