What makes me shake my head is the boi's mother. She was complaining (as is her wont) about how we could expect a colder winter this year because "we haven't had any hurricanes."
Bwuh? Twelve named hurricanes this year. The average is SIX. We're at the end of the alphabet. How can she say we can expect a cold winter just because our Central Florida didn't get any storms? (Don't get me wrong -- I'm all for a cold winter. I'm ready to sacrifice black chickens just to get a cold winter. But she's got a bunch of tropical plants in her garden, and cold winters mean she has to cover them and coddle them and... yeah, not my problem.)
I know she meant that no hurricanes have hit our area specifically (touch wood), but it was still an absurd statement to make, IMO.
