Theft of the Stages

Is it wrong to wish Hurricane Milton would track a little bit further to the south and wipe Mar-a-Lago off the map once and for all and for good? 

The forecast for Palm Beach and Miami for tonight is cloudy with a 15% chance of rain. The "fun" stuff, high winds and thunderstorms, doesn't arrive until Wednesday afternoon. But the weather for this evening is good enough that the Florida Panthers are opening their NHL season with a home game tonight against the Boston Bruins. Miami International Airport remains open but many airline carriers have canceled or will cancel flights, and travelers are advised to contact their airline carrier to confirm flight information. It might be a bumpy ride home after the game for the Bruins, if they're not stranded in South Florida. 

Speaking of South Florida, my cumulative walking distance this year extends from my home in Atlanta all the way to the southernmost tip of the Peninsular Florida mainland. Any further south and you're on the Key bridges. 

Speaking of walking, I got yesterday's walk in today, 6.7 miles along the Cochran Shoals Trail along and near the Chattahoochee River. The weather here in Atlanta is delightful: sunny, dry, temps in the high 70, and it felt great to be outside and exercising. I regret not getting out yesterday and I'll walk again tomorrow to get back on schedule.
