Tomorrow is the 29th...Night of Determination.

This morning I picked up another 3 cases of water and filled up the gas tank on the way home. Ammo magazines are loaded and I have 2 months worth of non-perishable food – ready to eat.

It's probably nothing, but what if I'm wrong? Folks, you should be ready.

Spoke with an old climbing buddy who's down in Florida now. Said they got 60-70mph winds but no damage – he was north of the storm. He's an ex-firefighter and was one of those who responded to the 9/11/01 attack on the Pentagon. He and his family have 3-4 months worth of supplies. He's always amazed at how people depend on the gov't to take care of them. He found the stupidity of waiting in line for hours for 8lbs. of ice rather disgusting.

Katrina and Rita have shown us how quickly things can and will get nasty after a catastrophe. Once again, I refer to my tag line.

The Iran situation sure has me concerned. This guy just might be crazy enough to actually start something. Glad to see Tony Blair taking the lead and hope and pray the threat is not allowed to continue.
