Tropical Wave

We were not planning on blogging today because we didn't have much to say.  Oh, sure, the Heat won the basketball game last night and are now the champs. That is HUGE here, but not something we would normally blog about.  Mama is happy they won because they were playing the Spurs who are from Texas. It's not like we don't like the Spurs, but we are here in Florida and our Texas license plates stand out.  BOL!  Mama didn't want anyone to take a loss out on our Jeep.  The folks are actually not basketball fans at all and didn't even watch the series. 

There is also other news here.  A tropical wave may be coming tonight or tomorrow.  That sounds scary doesn't it?  Apparently, a tropical wave will bring us a lot of rain.


So, what caused us to blog?  Well, we just looked out the window and there is a family putting tents up.  We didn't even know tent camping was allowed here.  We just wonder how they are going to tent camp in this heat and then they will have to face the tropical wave. Yikes!   Mama said it will give us something to watch this weekend.  It is pretty entertaining just watching them put their tents up.  Yep, this place is really boring if watching people put their tents up is entertaining to us.  BOL!  Oh, it looks like the tents are up and they are sitting in chairs, sweating. 

What is the weather like here?  Well, the mornings are the worst.  When we take our 5:30 a.m. walk, it is so muggy.  Mama normally comes back sweaty.  It actually gets better as the day goes on.  Our evenings are actually pretty nice.  We normally take our longest walk at night.  We actually like it when it it cloudy and we don't mind a shower or two.  We may not be happy when the tropical wave hits though.  That may be more rain than we want.  If we are unhappy, can you imagine how the tent campers will feel?

Mama said a funny the other day.  She picked up some bananas the other day at Walmart.  She swears they were green when she got in line.  They were yellow when she got home.  BOL!

  1. Yikes! Summer arrived here today with 90 degree heat, that looks like it's going to last for a while. I would not want to be outside living in a tent right now! I hope you, Scout and Mama stay cool!

  2. Joey, you and Scout should come to visit us in the mountains of New Mexico. The dry heat is actually quite comfortable, and you could play with my two greyhounds, and you could sqeak the toys and run zoomies all over!

  3. Hi Y'all!

    Oh, my Human says Walmart is the one place she HATES to have to shop. There are never enough check out lines open and always lines at the self check. When they first opened self check she loved it 'cause she could get what she wanted and get out...now people are slow and get stuck on stuff so it's quicker to go the a person...but there aren't enough checkers! I'm sure your Mom's bananas ripened while she waited!

    Paws crossed the tropical wave won't be as bad as expected!

    Y'all come by now,

  4. I would not like a tropical wave, to much rain for me. I like to get wet on my own terms. I have to say that MOM and I have camped in some pretty incredible weather when we go backpacking in the mountains. Last year the thunder and lighting was so intense that the lighting lit up our tent like it was noon day, even brighter. But not much can do when you are so far away from any "civilization". Happy people watching.
    Blessings,

  7. You'll have to give us a full report on the tent campers. Sounds miserable to me.

  8. Mum and Dad have never been camping - they like the sound of it but probably not the reality, LOL.
