Quiet

 It's quiet in the tropics for the first week of August.  So far, we have had only two named storms in the Atlantic basin August is normally the month when the Atlantic storms crank up, notably in 2005.  That was a busy year.  A little research tells us that the least active hurricane season on record was 1914 when only one known tropical storm was recorded.

We had a little dry cold front move through over the weekend.  No rain and the temps are not notably lower, but the humidity is down, which is a good thing.

Belle mentioned that she would like a chimichanga for lunch, and I happen to have a recipe. I'll go to the grocers in a bit and see if I can find some tortillas.
