SJL GUSTAV UPDATED WIND FOR MONDAY AM

Gotta head out overnight, but this is the latest, with possible landfall as early as tomorrow morning. Shows we might now get 20 mph winds, which is actually about normal for this time of year. More later.

GUESS WHO'S COMING FOR DINNER

Puleeze, I think I'd rather have SJL Gustav come here that this. Ready or not, here they come. The gold rush in on again.

SJL WIND MAP SHOW US IN THE CLEAR

The wind map shows us in Seabrook not even getting a little breeze from SJL Gustav, so I'm actually starting to get nervous for the first time. I'm about out of steam from having to hype this thing so much, but I know how important it is for the real truth to get out, so guess I'll sacrifice myself to keep on reporting. That's about all for now, but more later.

SJL Gustav Story Getting Unbearable

The press BS on these storms is getting unbearable, and they are still almost a week out. I hope I don't have to turn off the radio and miss something important, but this shit of just trying to scare people to death has got to stop. On another note, guess who's coming to dinner as New Orleans begins evacuations today - wonder where those hoods and criminals will wind up? To quote Al Sharpton "Look out for the boogieman."

SJL GUSTAV CAUSES INSANITY

It's getting totally crazy around here as is usual when a storm is imminent. This one is several days out and not even projected to come here, and people are stark raving mad already. Maybe they all know, just like I do, that we are at high risk because we are not on the projected path - I always feel that the safest place to be is astrattle the projected path because that the one place you can be certain it will not go. More later.

MORE ACCURATE PRESENTATION OF HURRICANE SJL GUSTAV PROJECTION

Here's the latest forecast from the NWS. Looks about right to me.

THE LATEST ON HURRICANE SJL GUSTAV

Storm still a long way away - press still talking like it'll be here at noon today. Pathetic press coverage, but storm seems to be worth watching. It's still not a hurricane, but so what - it's something to talk about. More later.

PRESS GOES DROOLING WITH THIS ONE

They (the local media) would love to even have a trifecta but this one's got them all drooling and panting and creaming all over themselves.

OH NO! NOW THERE ARE TWO SHELIA JACKSON LEES OUT THERE

Reporterettes are panting now - there are 2 storms out there. Surely the world will end today or tomorrow at the latest. Oh my, oh my, what shall we do. The sky is falling for sure this time. Alas, alas....

HURRICANE SHELIA JACKSON LEE GUSTAV ALMOST HERE

According to local media, Gustav is on our doorstep and is going to kill us all, probably today or tonight at the latest. They are really getting revved up over this one - hoping for at least a Rita if not a Katrina. Boy this gets old listening to all that fear mongering on the radio, but I don't have a TV but I hear that they are even worst.

Here's the latest (about 1500 miles out so far)

HURRICANE SHELIA JACKSON LEE GUSTAV UPDATE

Well, Hurricane Shelia Jackson Lee Gustav is still about 2000 miles away and is threatening to break up over Haiti, but according to local news media, we're lucky to be alive today but it's doubtful we'll survive the weekend. One of these days we're going to really get something that's a problem, and no one will be listening (study the story of the Little Boy who Cried Wolf).

WHY THE PRESS IS SO SCARED OF HURRICANE SHELIA JACKSON LEE - GUSTAV

The press is going crazy already about Hurricane Shelia Jackson Lee- Gustav, but I did some bechind the scenes work and discovered why. It's merely a problem with photos. They found this one and thought it was the Hurricane:

LOOK OUT - HURRICANE SHELIA JACKSON LEE-GUSTAV IS COMING

TD 7 is now a tropical storm, so according to press accounts by now is is just about as dangerous as a Cat 5 hurricane - what's the difference anyway, right. Anyhow, get ready, here comes another opportunity for 8 or 10 days of press hype designed to scare old people to death.

HURRICANE SHELIA JACKSON LEE - FAY

Even though Fay is 1500 miles away and not expected to come anywhere close to Texas does not mean the local press can leave their disaster talk alone. I'll swear, the next time they start talking about hurricanes here locally I'm not even going to buy extra "AA" batteries. They have cried wolf so many times that no one pays any attention any more. That's a real shame because some day they may actually need to send out a warning and no one will listen.

CHUPACABRA UPDATE

Some of you may recall that I got into a chupacabra breeding/marketing business several months back after finding a good deal on Michael Vick's dog kennels while he is gone away. I had planned to utilize these beasts to some extent during the Democrat Convention, but unfortunately, I had basically trained all the animals to respond to the scent of a female. Since the female was apparently aced out of the electorial race by a race baiting racist of a different race, the trained animals could not properly respond and had to be destroyed. While the new ones are being properly trained, it is uncertain just how many will actually be ready by the time of the convention, so needless to say, I've suffered a little financial setback. One of my animals escaped not long ago, and if you will check the video below, you will get a better idea of just what we are dealing with here.

AFTERMATH - HURRICANE SHELIA JACKSON LEE-EDOUARDO

Well, the hurricane that was never a hurricane to begin with has passed, and now it's time for damage assessment and clean-up. Looks like the grass has grown about 3 inches since the storm passed through, and I saw a dead twig that got knocked out of the tree. Hopefully the clean-up will start soon, because if they wait a full week to mow, the grass will be so high that it will choke the mower down. That's about it from my perspective, although the local press can probably make something disasterous about it. Maybe it hit women and minorities harder or something like that. Oh, I almost forgot, the mail was about 2 hours late also due to the storm. What a problem.

REMINDER FROM HURRICANE SJL(E)

Once again my theory on hurricane safety has been proven out. Oh, you don' know my theory on hurricane safety? Well, here goes - the safest place to be when a hurricane is coming is directly strattle the line that says "Projected Path." Time and time again that is the one place you can confidently put yourself and know with absolute certainty that it will not hit there.

MORE HURRICANE SHELIA JACKSON LEE

The subject hurricane never actually achieved hurricane status, but the local press would not let a little matter like that stand in the way of trying to generate more fear among the local populus. The storms arrived somewhat meekly about 90 miles north of the hoped for point (the media was hoping for a direct hit on Houston), the winds are not too bad, and there is some well needed rain associated with the system. After finally admitting that all their hype was wasted due to lack of cooperation of SJL(E), they did manage to point out that there was still the possibility of tornados spinning off the main system, so they still managed to keep hope alive for a total disaster. Channel 11 had one of their reporters (actually a male) in front of my place of business this morning, and I visited with him briefly and will just say that he readily admitted how stupid it is to stand out in the rain and tell the camera that it's raining, but that's his job. Bed time now, so more later. Can't wait for the next disaster in waiting (besides global warming).

HURRICANE SHELIA JACKSON LEE EDUARDO ARRIVES IN SEABROOK

Well, here it is if the dad gum picture will post. Some rain, some wind - that's about it. More later.

MORE EUDORADO STUFF

As you can see, if this thing will upload, the projected path has moved slightly northward from where it was yesterday, scoring a direct hit on Galveston as it currently stands. We need the rain, so bring it on.
Still not uploading photos. More later.

MORE HURRICANE SHELIA JACKSON LEE

I know, its not even a hurricane yet, and likely won't be, but I just can't seem to get that image of SJL demanding more African sounding names out of my mind. I'll also never forget her sitting on the NASA funding committee in Congress and demanding that those Mars rovers go over and take pictures where the astronauts planted flags when they were there in the late 1960's and early 1970's, but that's beyond the scope of this post. Anyhow, here's the latest.

Well, the picture won't upload, so just use your imagination for now and I'll try to get pictures later.

LOCAL PRESS DISCOVERS POSSIBLE HURRICANE AT OUR DOORSTEP

Predictably, the regular broadcast crew at the local "news" radio station replaced the not ready for weekday weekend crew about 5AM today, and I was instantly greeted with some hysterical woman screeching gloom and doom and storm warnings and we'll all die, etc. Unbelievably irresponsible to ignore this yesterday and then , with virtually no facts being presented, start screaming dire warnings. They've cried "wolf" so many times that if there really were a serious emergency noone would pay any attention. Fortunately, as it now appears, we will get a fairly fast moving rain storm with some wind to go along with it. We need the rain, and if it doesn't slow down, we probably won't have any flooding to speak of. Anyway, I'm off to bed. More hurricane updates later.

NEW HURRICANE ON THE MOVE

While the press is sleeping, a new tropical storm has formed just south of New Orleans and will be headed straight for us over the next couple of days. You would have to listen to the local forecasts to believe it, but it is obvious that it was prepared before the weekend, and they just continue to forecast blue skys, 100 degree days, and slight chance of afternoon pop-up thunderstorms, oblivious to the formation of the new storm this weekend and oblivious to the fact that it is raining now. Guess they are too cheap to call in the weatherman for the weekend. Unbelievable.

SUMMER DRAWING TO A CLOSE

Well, summer's almost over now. The days are getting shorter (and hotter), and the hint of football is in the air with two-a-days getting going. I remember my friend Lannie (now a paraplegic) saying that if you could get through two-a-days at Rice you could get through anything, and I had to remind him of that when he became paralized from the neck down. He's about 70 now and still kicking asses at the rehab from all the young gunshot victims and all. Anyway, I think there is a new addition to the family from Kenny's daughter, Leslie, in Missouri. More later on that topic. That's all for now. More later.
