Sunday starts now

What if the weather was not so nice at the beach. There would be wind kicking up. The trees would blow the dead debris off the branches and onto the ground. The ground would be saturated with water from the pounding rain. Lightening would be striking everywhere and no one would be on the beach or in the water. The wind would be howling and the tornado threat would be scary as I hunkered by the weather radio. Tornado warning issued and whirling motion spotted on Doppler radar around the beach. This is a dangerous situation which I don't have to worry about at the present time, because all we have here is heat and sun. Yesterday, I saw a girl in a bikini heading down to the beach with her beach towel. I was in my air conditioning car going to pick up someone who just had her hair done at the beauty shop.

What if Tim Russert, the journalist, never passed away from a heart attack. The weekend would be just another ordinary weekend filled with stories of the War in Iraq and the Political Scene between The Republican Candidate and The Democratic Candidate. Tim would host his show "Meet The Press" and no one would know anything was different. The tornado story which involved Boy Souts and the floods in the Mid-West would have faded away in the background. Even the shuttle landing would be small potato news.

However, Tim did die from the heart attack and focus was placed on dedication to his career and why he died at such a young age. Also,what a good father Tim was to his son who just graduated from college. Tim paid for a trip the family took to Italy as a graduation present to his son. The other press people talked about how Tim would attend the baseball games his son was play in. This kind of bonding netted the press family closer together.

What if gas prices started going down instead of going up. Gas companies were competing for your business by having lowering price wars. How nice it would be never to see four dollars a gallon or five dollars a gallon. The price range would be two dollars a gallon or one something a gallon. What traveling we would do. Trips to visit relatives who live two hours away. Having enough fuel in case a hurricane came. Having enough fuel to easily glide into Orlando and back,if I had to do it on a regular basis. Plus just having enough gas to go to the movies if I wanted to see a picture show.

The what ifs could be endless to the number of changes I would like to see happen. This was written without the coffee this morning. I got up early when Lillian my friend was just going to bed. We shall see what lies ahead for the day and the week. Hot and sunny for the day and Hot and muggy for the evening with a gorgeous sunset. What if has been replaced by What is happening today.
