Nemo, or why does weather have to have names?

Nemo is a ridiculous name for a weather system.  Are we naming everything now so people can feel more victimized by it on a personal level?  If it's anonymous weather, we don't take it so personally? 

It's a Republican plot.  Used to be a Communist plot, but we gave up on those guys as the cause of all our troubles a while back.  Maybe it's a CIA plot.  Or a North Korean plot.  Or a Chinese plot.  The new world order.

Whose-ever plot it might be, it's 40-something degrees here, so no snow happening.  Lots of wind, and rain.  Wundermap looks like the snowy part is going to slide on north of us.  (Our front actually doesn't have a name, it's the snowy part that they're calling Nemo.)  One front keeping the other at bay.  Actually, north-west of the bay, if you want to get geographically technical.

You can tell how many residents we don't have living here at the moment.  The "Code Red" call a little while ago advised residents to "secure your debris" and "ask your contractors to secure their work sites" because of the potential for the river coming up at high tide this evening.  Nothing about danger to the residents.  Nobody cares much about us these days.  Especially not the insurance companies.

I think I'll go out and tether the camels.  We're self-help, in my neighborhood.
