Northeast Braces for Superstorm 2005
AccuWeather ^ | October 25, 2005 | Steve Penstone
Posted on 10/24/2005 8:40:38 PM PDT by jmc1969
meteorologists say Hurricane Wilma and the remnants of Tropical Storm Alpha will be drawn north along the Atlantic coast. By Tuesday they will be absorbed into a large low pressure system that will develop off the Virginia Capes, forming a "super-storm" that is expected to bring wind, rain, snow and flooding to the Northeast.
Psst. It's raining. :P
smiling...well, it's not raining here and you sure won't catch me global whiiiiining about that!
Windy here, and some rain.
Cold and wet here... snow tomorrow. :)
BTW: I am around, I know we are at 4k... was home for the weekend, I should get something new up this week!
Windy...yuk.
Oh, my bones ache thinking about cold, wet and snow...Watch out for those drivers who have never driven in the snow before.
Post #19 deals with the POW's brought here after Gulf War #1, some 12,500 of them.
Interesting reading, most were unknown.

If you want to give the kids a good look at what the dust bowl was like, check out the movie and book "Grapes of wrath".
That is the way we came to California, with the chickens tied to the running boards of an old buick.
We were lucky, as Aun Corene had married a man who worked on a ranch in the Merced area, so we had a place to go.
But we also lived in the fruit camps, while picking fruit, I still bear scars from there, before 1940.
Another movie, that captures the era is the movie "The Egg and I".
Even my dad thought he could get rich with chickens.....LOL
But some of the WW2 servicemen used the GI Bill to get a start with raising chickens and did miss it.
I haven't seen either movie in years.
I do know what you are talking about, my grandaughter is 23 and everytime she calls, I wind up yelling at her to quit
buying everything she sees on TV.
She at least asks and learns about the old days.
Your children will be fine people, due to the fact that you care about them and how they grow up.

Venezuela police scramble to squash pumpkin threat

Venezuela police scramble to squash pumpkin threat
CARACAS, Venezuela (Reuters) - Venezuelan security services scrambled on Monday to tackle a new threat on the streets of Caracas: Halloween-style pumpkins carrying messages of rebellion against President Hugo Chavez.
Local media showed heavily armed police and bomb experts surrounding one orange squash with a Halloween face and covered with stickers; others sprouted cables and wires making authorities wary they could be home-made explosives
I sure wish his fear of an invasion was true. I think we can stop the mess he's made if we get in there now. Anyone think the rumor has any hope?
Channel DTMS 111 on Cable is featuring "Media Jihad" right now, an hour long documentary on AQ and use of internet to spread message and recruit.
DTMS is Discovery Times by the way.
29 is a prime number, so is 11, 19...

London bombing was the 7th, prime number
Madrid bombing was the 11th, also prime number
Prime numbers continue to mystify mathematicians and scientists. Some people see that these numbers are connected to creation, and that they demonstrate "divine will."
OPINION - No, I don't think there's an invasion of any type coming unless, of course, he attacks the USA. Chavez seems to be a bit paranoid lately. I wonder what his problem is?
Thanks GorillaMa.
I don't get cable, but that does sound interesting.

"Dolly defends Yusuf Islam"
24/10/2005 - 08:03:49
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Country superstar Dolly Parton was thrilled when Yusuf Islam agreed to collaborate with her on her new covers album because she wanted to show fans he's a "really sweet man."
Parton has been a longtime friend and fan of the folk icon, formerly Cat Stevens, and was horrified when she learned he had been refused entry to America last year."
