Typical, I move to NYC and take a hurricane with me. I would have guess tornado. Hmmmm. Typical, I move to NYC and take a hurricane with me. I would have guess tornado.

Of course that wasn't great but it's probably about the best scenario with a former monster like Gustav. I kept hoping Gustav was just a clever marketing ploy by Olive Garden, and we'd soon be getting free breadsticks and salad, but no. And clever, today I wrote a story on all the rain we got and not much happening. It's weird how sometimes you have to let people know that nothing really happened in case they think it did. Or something. I'm tired. To bed I go. Oh but before I do, I saw the funniest thing at Wal-Mart. Walking by the deodorant aisle, I noticed it was bare. I paused and saw a sign: "Temporarily out of stock due to Hurricane Gustav refugees"at the place where they're keeping a couple thousand of em. I was like dang. Dunno if Wal-Mart donated or what, but if the entire city starts stinking, we'll know why.

I don't want it to hit you, I obviously don't want it to hit me, and I don't want it to hit our girls to the north. Out to sea, I say. That’s the problem with having friends!

No big deal. It will be a prolonged, windy, exceptionally bad thunderstorm, and nothing more. Trust me. Ike scares the crap out of me. If it hits me, on a personal level, I will be devastated for the people who are still reeling from all the rain Fay dumped on us. On a professional level, it will mean a shitton of work for me. If it hits somewhere further north on the east coast, on a personal level, I will be scared shitless for my friends along the eastern seaboard, but on a weather nerd level, I will be fascinated to see how it gets all the way up there. Hurricanes are bad. I think I should move to Missouri. I’m looking at the computer models now, and it looks like the eastern part of the storm is going to graze you. No big deal.
