The islands. The ones in danger (again).
Poor Puerto Rico is yet again in the cone of concern with regards to the second hurricane of the season (although it's looking more and more like it will only have to deal with the remnants of a tropical storm when it passes in the next two days). Please consider sending the Trumpster some paper towels *now* so that FEMA will be ready to sop up any necessary storm related damage. (Snark aside -- our thoughts are with the still struggling island and its peoples and its rum.)
Then there's Haiti, currently going up in flames over a rise in gas prices. If you're not aware, the SoFlo is chock full of Haitians (at least up until said Trumpster follows through on his plans to deport them all back from whence they came) ... so unrest in their mother-land hits the 'hood hard. And for those of you anti-immigrant enough to not care, know that there are several church groups and missionaries stranded amidst the danger who could use some of those patented "thoughts and prayers".
The only good news this weekend seems to be across the world over in Thailand with some of the soccer team finally emerging from the cave -- although, sadly, I'm pretty sure that they are doing so too late to play in that there World Cup thing for which the Russians have likely pre-determined the winner via Facebook memes and such.
EVEN THOUGH DOWNGRADED, IT'S STILL GOING TO BE A MESS:
