....is in Newport and mentioned to us via Facebook that there is a Hurricane off the coast heading up that way.....

Now just because he is a Shipmate with the same name, I suppose you guys will blame him for the weather?

Well, that's what I am hoping for anyway!

He is there for two weeks, having only arrived about 3 days ago.

Well, we are left with two theories, (1) Ozzies bring bad weather, or (2)Ozzies named Paul bring bad weather....

The moment Blue (Paul) got off the train here in Seattle it started to rain. I know, I was there to meet him and got drenched!

Well, but of course we'll blame him. Hells fire, got to blame someone and it might as well be him. Now if it were "THE Paul" from Oz hurricanes would probably be lined up like beads on a sting.

If "Ozzies named Paul" bring rain does that mean I have to rescind my request that he meet us in Seattle next year?
And with regard to Ralph and "beads on a sting"; Ralph only learned the 2 R's down there. Spelling and "readin" were left out of his edjumication

Gee, the minute I hit Maryland back in March, it started to rain...I knew that Blue was in the general vicinity!!!!

Blue, I think the "storm" named Danny, is headed for the Carolina Coast.
