Graphic says it all, really… The exact track (over more land or gulf) determines the strength, but now it looks like a range of maybe 30-40mph sustained winds vs. 25-30…

That’s a South Park reference, in case you don’t recognize it…

Eek!

For once, the spaghetti models are more encouraging than the official track
So… Fri/Sa is gonna suck… especially delivering on Saturday… d’oh

Fay is coming for us! heh.



The fun part is it’s scheduled to hit us Saturday. Whic h  will be my last day delivering for the flower shop (going back to school this fall)...





If she tracks just a little south, we may see TS winds. Otherwise, just TD winds… Still, it’s going to make delivering a pain…

Okay, now I’m beginning to get a little worried…





This thing may be headed our way after all…





The official guidance is east of the model consensus, but the models have been moving west for the past couple of days now…

Cool concept:

The listed time to get the motorcycle from the plane is three minutes, so that’s not bad.
Although the modified the engine to reduce the chances for fuel leakage, it still means you’re flying with a gallon or two of gas on your belly.
Cool idea!

So Reefer Madness opened on Friday. It’s an awesome show.

Even better, there’s video!

Rachel designed the lights, I designed the sound – we’re running them respectively for the run…

The real problem is that it’s so narrow that cars scrape the sides… poor planning!

So this guy walking on the tracks (DUMB) hears a train horn, looks back, and sees a train approaching on the tracks he’s walking on. So he switches tracks.

But so does the train, and he never looks back again, and it killed.

Stupid.

Sad, but stupid.

What could be better than a GPS headset for cows?

Won’t be long before cowboys will be IT geeks.

I suppose it shows that I’m a city “dude”, because I have no clue how you can steer cattle with voice commands, but it sounds cool.

And it looks like it’s solar-powered…

So apparently someone wrote “BOMB” on the side of their suitecase and checked it in to Quantas.
The bag was checked, and it wasn’t until baggage handlers got hold of it that someone noticed.
Then, moron managers decided to move the bag – still not checked out by anyone like, say, a police bomb squad – into a more populated area of the airport.
So it’s stupid enough that anyone would think that a bag labelled “BOMB” would actually HAVE a bomb inside, but if you’re going to think it’s a bomb, treat it like a bomb and don’t pick it up, much less move it where more people are.
Brilliant.
I just can’t get over how stupid stuff like this is so common.
