Trying to reason with Hurricane season…….by Jimmy Buffett

Squalls out on the gulf stream,
Big storms coming soon.
I passed out in my hammock,
God, I slept way past noon.
Stood up and tried to focus,
I hoped I wouldn’t have to look far.
I knew I could use a Bloody Mary,
So I stumbled next door to the bar.

[Chorus:]
And now I must confess,
I could use some rest.
I can’t run at this pace very long.
Yes, it’s quite insane,
I think it hurts my brain.
But it cleans me out and then I can go on.

There’s something about this Sunday
It’s a most peculiar gray
Strolling down the avenue
That’s known as A1A
I was feeling tired, then I got inspired.
And I knew that it wouldn’t last long
So all alone I walked back home, sat on my beach
And then I made up this song.

[Chorus]

Well, the wind is blowin’ harder now
Fifty knots of there abouts,
There’s white caps on the ocean.
And I’m watching for water spouts
It’s time to close the shutters
It’s time to go inside.
In a week I’ll be in gay Paris;
That’s a mighty long airplane ride.

[Chorus]
Yes, It cleans me out and then I can go on.

Now I must say….. I think that Jimmy Buffett would be the first to be ready for the hurricane party, I feel compassion for those leaving their homes, but the best thing to do is get drunk….so here is a recipe for my new drink…..The Hurricane Rita…..

in a 26 oz Hurricane glass, combine the following ingredients.

1oz Dark Rum
1oz Bacardi 151
1oz Top shelf Tequila
1oz Triple sec
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/2 oz Grenadine
Juice of 1/2 lime
1 teaspoon of sugar

garnish with a Lime and a Cherry.

and Get drunk!

To all: Please know that everyone in the path of this storm and victims of Katrina are in our Prayers, I am here just trying to make light of a bad situation.
