With Hurricane Season starting in a few days, I thought I'd post a list of the names that will be used this year.
Alex
Bonnie
Colin
Danielle
Earl
Fiona
Gaston
Hermine
Ian
Julia
Karl
Lisa
Matthew
Nicole
Otto
Paula
Richard
Shary
Tobias
Virginie
Walter
Alex, of course, was already used as a name, since a hurricane formed after they had put the books away during the 2015 season. (See this.)
Also, even though Hurricane Season starts on June 1st, there is a storm brewing in the Atlantic now, that could be Bonnie. But not in a good way.

I've been doing this for a few years now, last year, 2008 and 2007 and it seems like an interesting and maybe even useful thing to continue this year. I really enjoy seeing other people's reading lists (like here, here and here) and enjoy adding my own to the mix.
So, below you'll find a list of…
The definitive book on root cellars and the cold storage of vegetables is Mike and Nancy Bubel's _Root Cellaring_, and I'm very fond of this book. Over the years, we've relied on it for all sorts of things, and it has helped us find a spot in our house suitable for natural, unrefrigerated cold…

I get a lot of inquiries about goats that go pretty much like this: “I’d love to have fresh goat’s milk all the time, and cheese, but my schedule just isn’t compatible with milking twice a day at 5am and 5pm, 365 days a year, so I guess I can’t have dairy goats, but I love to hear…
Hurricane Richard will be nicknamed "RickA", after it achieves "Category 6" (in its opinion) and makes landfall, selectively wiping out institutions of science and leaving places of higher learning in a shambles.
Just prior to landfall, meteorologists will say, "Well, we don't know if it will make landfall, so it's best not to do anything. We'll eventually know, so we'll just have to wait and see what happens."
"Virginie" is a name?
Could easily add: "Besides, it won't hurt us - we'll just move inland a little bit and enjoy the new beachfront property."
