South Florida's 2026 hurricane season looks to be not as eventful as other seasons have been. Sahara dust remains our friend and keeping the winds behaving will let us breathe a relief from devasting hurricanes on the east coast of Florida. Come latter October and early Novemeber we need to keep watch for some possible instances, however. But overall, if El Nino behaves we will be in calm surround...

Far left politics, prejudice, insisting on selectiveism are all in the political mix nowadays. Didn't we tackle this in years past and come away with a better handle on how we can respect each other and get along? Faith, friends and family are the cohesive foundation to keep us equals. Smile, be kind, and listen to one another make for a better conversation. 

Predictions for this season give us a few months to prepare. We're hoping for Sahara Dust to come to the rescue keeping hurricanes at bay. Steering currents are another help becasue when they're in place, they keep the hurricanes on track so we have more insight on where they'll land - or not. Martha says she'll know more of a long-range prediciton in a few weeks. 

Security is a prime issue in today's world. The recent White House Correspondent's Dinner is a valid conclusion to look at with what needs to be done in politics in the USA. 

Bill Clinton gave a conference backing President Trump's decisions on the Middle East.

Getting the shutdown stopped looks positive going forward. Democrats and Republicans need more alignment and to get the far left to meld away. Legal citizens deserve to know that their votes count because each and every voter is presenting a valid ID. 

What can you negotiate for when buying your home? It's not the nit-pick that will get you out on top. it's the big ticket items - like a roof, a swimming pool, maybe HVAC, that the seller will want to negotiate with because they want to SELL. Your choice of realtor is the important first step!
