Now that is funny.
I'm darn tired of this heat, too.
What...?...what's that you said?.....
Oh, yea. I live in the desert.
:)
Now, he'll just do that for the sheer pleasure of it.
Yes! That canoe scene should live in infamy! Idiocy!
I'm happy just knowing that we don't have to see those reporters, trying to be so da*n macho, bending into the wind, while telling us how bad it is. When I see those theatrics I just want to see them blown away!
How inconvenient!
It's always amusing to hear non-local announcers mangle "Altahama..." like they did the spelling-
Altamaha is correct- see map here:
-scroll down a bit-- ( look to the Left of the City of Darien )
We call it all- tah'-maw-haw primarily, although some locals pronounce it as al- tam'- a- haw, but it's always a two-sound burst with emphasis on the second syllable-- the rest is usually a mush-mouthed mutter... you know how us backward Southerners are- between the bad teeth, corn likker, and chasing our sisters, we don't have much energy left for correct enunciation...
For what it's worth, here is the latest wind-strength map I found in the blogosphere:

Still on track! Watches have now been posted along the east coast. Here's the 5pm Advisory:

Weather For Deep Southeast Louisiana
Skysummit Weather
Them and all the other leftist wackos who wish for disaster. Since this is supposedly the hottest year in the history of the planet, according to all the enviro-wackos, who claim hotter weather creates more hurricanes, this should have been a record year for giant, people-killing, city-wrecking hurricanes. We might still get a few, but it hasn't happened yet, and time is running out. The wackos were desperately hoping that Ernesto would be huge and kill thousands of people while destroying most of the east coast. What a great group of humanity-lovers.(smirk)
Right now we barely have any rain. But, thanks for posting that tracking map, backhoe.
Watching the Weather Channel last night, they had a guy down in the Keys with a slicker on and the hood drawn tight around his face and talking up the dangers of wind and flood waters just as two teenagers come wandering by behind him to do a quick pose for the cameras shirtless and in shorts. Made the reporter look pretty foolish...
