Pirate Ship Earrings and Spanish Galleon Pendant on Trend De L Creme

In Greek mythology, Poseidon was the god of the sea, and, as "Earth-Shaker," the creator of earthquakes. So, unlike his singularly-gifted co-gods, Poseidon was bestowed the ability to unleash his fury on land and at sea. So, it's no surprise that, only a week after the strangely unexpected earthquake centered in DC, a hurricane is now barreling towards the eastern coast. A clear indication that he's up to no good, and probably just getting started. So, friends, it's time to batten down the hatches in Boston while Hurricane Irene does her dirty work. (Does anyone else find it odd that Irene comes from the Greek Eirene which means "peace" ??)
