Tropical depression in the eastern Atlantic is the first of its sort, forming near the African coast and aiming towards the Caribbean. Seems like a slow start to the season. I wonder what is in store. Bush could have done something about it but he didn't. I don't know what he could have done, but he could have done something.

If it comes here to Houston I am definitely going to blame it on Bush. Or I could blame it on Rove, last chance to kick him around for a while. I suppose it could be Cheney's fault, but I haven't got solid proof yet.

The worst thing is that it is possible that the new Orleans refugees might have to evacuate again, maybe even go back to New Orleans.

Ok, I'm kidding. I like it when we have big winds here. You can lean over at a 45 degree angle and not fall over. Its kind of cool. Besides it breaks up the unbearable heat. I don't like the big waves that hit the shorelines though. My brother's house was destroyed by Katrina. Not like New Orleans destroyed, like Biloxi, MS destroyed, with 25 feet of water in the living room, if you can imagine such a thing. He was half a block form the beach and his house was gone from under his roof, which was sitting on the ground until the Corp of Engineers finally broke it up and hauled off the pieces. Makes you want to run out and buy some beach front property doesn't it.

Hmmm, humans messed around with nature long before Bush. It can be mended, but the progress will be slow, nothing Bush will do though, he prefers to ignore it.

Hey Philosopher that was great.

hey!

we have a game we play at my house....it's called 'Who's the D.A.?'


it's our rendition of your game of choosing a D.D. (designated driver)

only we choose a designated asshole ( D.A.) and EVERYTHING IS THEIR FAULT for a duration of 2 weeks.

it is a position of honor and those nominated are usually inspired by the challenges of their station.


maybe we should elect one for JSH?!!



i will volunteer !!!!



unless someone happens to need arbitrary power...

Well Then Bl8ant..it's all your fault I'm not married to you!

Hurricane Dean..now a cat 2 and headed into my neighborhood...get the generator ready and stock up on good wine and beer!!!

ain't seen noth'in yet. Look around the world and see what is happening.. when the sky turns red/or pollution orange) you know darkness is not far away... Miles

Wow..you just figured that out..when the sky turns red or orange (sunset) darkness is not to far away...how profound

yep I did.. prophesy is today. And that paraphasing was a sign.. haha.... Miles

Bl8ant - if one lives alone, do I always have to be the DA?

In your honor I will begin a new post - watch for it now..

by the way Philosopher, liked the post.

Hurrican Dean a cat 4 now....batton down the hatches mates... and start passing the grog

Redy....no ..if you live alone ya just have to have the right connections....hey girl i'll hook ya up...lol


when ever you are at a loss for a D.A. just email me....we always have one somewhere around here!!! lmao

They are forecasting Dean to have the straightest course ever. Frequently hurricanes wander around and usually they hook North and eventually Northeast. This one is heading for Mexico they say. I think it will curve up a little and hit Port Isabel and Padre Island, one week before the start of the Labor Day Regatta for the Ruff Riders Catamaran race. I am wondering how it will effect the race. I had hoped to join the race this year, but alas I haven't managed to make the commitment in time.

The wind there runs about 20 mph average anyway or maybe 25. You can go so fast in a light sailboat there on the smooth waters, you'll have a hard time being satisfied sailing anywhere else.

Once I went zooming around on a jet ski on the Laguna Madre there and saw a guy on a sailboard flying across the laguna. My speed was 65 on the jet ski and he was going at least as fast as I was going.

Sometimes simple things just somehow seem admirable.

Actually I have to say the government did a much better job this time than they did with Katrina. I'm part of a disaster response team and we got deployed to San Antonio, Kelly Air force base on Saturday. We arrived on Monday, and we were de-activated once they found the storm wasn't going to hit. Actually, I just got back. So FEMA deployed early, having us their before the storm was supposed to hit, rather than a week after like Katrina....
