Tropical Storm Cindy is raining on us now. Denis may be coming later in the week.
So, why must we have storms with such pedestrian names? Why cant the National Weather Service embrace the the spirit of privitization and start selling naming rights?
We could have Tropical Storm Mr. Pibb, Tropical Storm Chevy Canyonero, Hurricane Hello Kitty.
And no doubt the pharmeceutical industry would be eagar to name Tropical Depressions after their products.
In exchange for this idea, I ask ony 1% of the revenues generated, and 0% of any liabilities.

Hivemindy!
In storm news, I have to clear many many fallen branches from my yard today. Hope Denis doesn't do worse or prompt evacuation.
