TLDR: Invest is nothing and will go away. Forecast: NOAA is predicting an above normal season (link), but nothing significant has changed since my blog post a month or so ago. You can read it here (link) if you missed it the first go around. That’s it, although I have a couple of blog posts under construction on other topics, nothing else to add at the moment.
Since the social media tools are yelling at me that his post doesn’t have enough words or graphics, here is a picture of Nicholas taking up about half my desk.

If you want posts by email, please sign up below. Note that I rarely send more than one or two a week if nothing is going on, during storm landfalls or breaking relevant news I might do two a day at most, so hopefully it’s not too much noise. Contributions are appreciated but not required.

Would that be Czar Nicholas?
I didn’t name him (he was a refugee), but I would say more of an Emperor than Tsar (the Tsar spelling being the preferred transliteration among Slavic scholars), a Tsar being mortal whereas Emperors have the aura of divinity …
Thank you…love the bonus cat picture!!!
Thank you much!!!
Who cares about hurricanes — Nicholas is so handsome and clearly running the show…thanks for sharing him.
