Good rainy morning to you all. The rain was not in the forecast yesterday but I won't complain because I don't have to water the hibiscus plants or the petunias. We are just about at the average first frost date but it hasn't happened yet--not even close. So let's see what is in my reading lists today.
First up is this article from the Guardian. I have read several articles about the looming insurance crisis here in the U.S. Those have concentrated on California and the Gulf Coast but the prices for homeowners insurance is going up all over the country. Well, we aren't the LONE RANGERS, kiddos. The U.K. is evidently having similar problems.
And then there is this report about the aftermath of typhoon Halong on the west coast of Alaska early on Monday. I saw this on the news feeds early this morning but haven't seen much on the broadcast news except for sporadic snippets on the Weather Channel.
Anyone remember when we thought MEASLES had been eradicated in the U.S.? W-e-l-l, that isn't at all true any more. South Carolina looks like it might continue the outbreak that started in Texas and New Mexico. I won't blame Bobby Kennedy, Jr., since vaccine skepticism has been growing for the last 30 years or so. His policies won't help going forward.
