What Was I Thinking?
1. The pool is a wonderful color blue
2. How can it be such beautiful weather here when Hurricane Ian is still kicking ass and taking names

9. The hurricane is not a person
10. You do not control the hurricane
11. No one does
12. Only Mother Nature knows what the hurricane will do
13. If there is a Mother Nature, what does she look like
14. I bet she is a shapeshifter to look like whatever she wants
15. One day a tall and brown hourglass with thick braided hair
16. The next a slim thin blonde with a pixie cut
17. The next was a redhead with thick coils hanging down her back and the bluest eyes and the wildest hair that you have ever seen
18. Finally, a BBW cool brunette with color streaks in her hair
19. Mother Nature is a bad bitch so she will reflect the same
20. I bet that Mother Nature would slap all of humanity if she had the chance
21. We do act like roaches sometimes

Hey there Hogan Torah, I typed the 100th as the timer rang. Not hard, but fun to let my mind wander. Nice one.
But me being me, I think you can do IT faster and better than most — but maybe not faster and better than me. Now that is unknown. But I would like to find out one day.
Below is Hogan Torah throwing down the gauntlet. Give it a spin.
