In this case, I dont think it is fear but reality. We all know the damage a bad hurricane at the "right" spot can do and we also know just how useless our government is in helping mop up. One can't help think "what if". But, Hurricane season is just getting started - we're only on the letter "E".

Technically we are almost half way through hurricane season ( 48% as of today) and only up to 'E'. Last year, as we all know, we were up to 'K' as of this date.


Ernesto does not appear to be a "bad" hurricane and may not be a hurricane at all by the time it makes land in the US.

I did however note the excitement in all the news reports last week when the storm track pointed out into the gulf and possibly at New Orleans followed by the subdued coverage when it was determined to only be going for Florida.

Would it be bad to once again hope that it knocks down that stupid arm over spaceship earth?

God, I hope so!

I like the arm. And so would you if it had been there from the beginning (I say with impossible certainty).

And I see that the new track has it riding up the east coast of Florida. At the current rate of change in the track the hurricane will never be farther west than Portugal so WDW is probably safe.

And if I'd been fed Poi from an early age I'd like that also. What's your point?


And yes, it looks like the cursed arm is safe for at least one more letter.

My point is that the Electrical Parade is a horrible parade.

Speaking of fear spreading, CNN is going to rebroadcast it's coverage of the 9/11 bombings. Isn't that great? (He posts with sarcasm...) Oy, I'm ready to give up my cable subscription...

Are they planning to replay the coverage of our Commander-in-Chief scurrying around the country like a scared bunny rabbit?
