I try to use people’s names as much as I can at my poker table and always ask if I am pronouncing it correctly if it’s not obvious. The other day I had a hispanic guy named “Jorge”. I pronounced it “whore-hey” without question and he goes “my names George”.

Lol me.

Well there’s not much I can do from the Philly area other than watch the disaster, discuss climate change, argue over the morality of saying fuck the climate deniers, and debate the pronuncuation of Punta Gordo.

In a day or two we can probably find some worthy places to donate to locals who are truly in need there. Until then…

Also they should rename it Gringo Gordo.

well, seems like the storm just passed central Florida, where I’m at. never lost power at my house. I know I have some fallen branches in my yard, but I think that’s the worst of it, really.

my mom had a similar story at her house in Sarasota.

There’s a little community near me called Rio. It’s Ry’-oh. Update from the Treasure Coast. Weirdest hurriccane ever. I got virtually no rain at my house. Brisk winds, but not too bad. Power out for about 8 hours overnnight, but now it’s back. Storm kind of curved around my area. So lucky. Maybe poker tomorrow.

Doesn’t surprise me.
