In a recent column I asked if crazy dreams equaled a crazy life. Ever since Helene rolled in, I've had plenty of crazy dreams. Unable to sleep deeply without my C-PAP machine, my brain stays close to consciousness, which is where dreams happen. Real life has provided the craziness. Either way I'm sure all of us have had enough craziness to last a good long while, and as of writing this, it ain't over yet.
Hurricane Helene wasn't here long and if you ask me, she can go the “Helene” back where she came from. Like many people, I thought she would be a lot of fuss and bluster without any real lasting effects. After all, the last hurricane was just fitful bands of drizzly rain. How had could this Helene be?
As the old saying goes, Man plans, God laughs.
