As usual the most dangerous place in the Keys this past week was between our mendacious mayors and a media microphone. It's time to start evacuating the media when the dynamic duo evacuate tourists. Perhaps denying them face time will make them a little less trigger happy.

Ike entered the Golf of Mexico! He's fallen into the trap, we've got him now. No place he can go without running into one of us.

You're surrounded, "I've got the enemy just where I want him." lol.

As I’ve said many times, it’s going to take a massive head injury from flying debris before the wethead reporters come in from the storms. This will be followed by a week of reporters mourning their brave colleague. Then we’ll have to watch the rest of them reporting through their hotel room windows during hurricanes. Sigh.

It rally does. I wish he’d just get finished already! (of course I hope he dies out in the Gulf, that would be lovely!)

That is actually very funny.

I needed that.

Thanks

LOL--"we have met the enemy, and he is us."

Advil doesn’t work for me. I take 2 excedrine migranes and one ibuprophen per my neurologists advice. Works more or less, but sometimes, nothing really does. I’m sure it’s the barometric pressure. It’s REALLY bad when we get a real hurricane.

Advil is ibuprofen.

[brytlea]

Oh silly me, see what a headache does?! Well, it doesn’t work by itself! ;)

Ike obviously hasn't watched any of the old westerns. Nobody falls for the "box canyon" maneuver anymore.

The rats sure did with the Barracuda!

“We’ll head him off at the pass.”

“Head him off at the pass? I hate that cliche...*gunshot*”

[CindyDawg]

lol. Too funny. Good way to look at it though.

We may end up sharing this storm with CC

Isn’t that the truth? Yall think since the models have started going up I can stop cleaning house and over-preparing? I’m getting tired.

[rodguy911]

I was definitely a victim of what we call down here cabin fever.

[Pebcak]

Let me know when you quit. I’m already tired, and there’s 1000 miles to go.

[Pebcak]

Thanks for the laugh!

HI star, not really all that bad.
Worst thing I heard was that a Publix semi rolled over on a bridge during a 60 knot gust, other than that haven't heard too much.

One of the locals in Key West(during a live broadcast that I saw) scared away a tv rookie from Miami telling him that the baracudas would bite his feet if he insisted on standing in the water.It was a riot the guy really believed him as well.
