Discovery flies on eve of Atlantic hurricane season & Arthur forms

Looks like oil companies will take this opportunity to rob us.

Let us pray for the fine folk in Texas. Let us whop GW’s ass if we get the chance.

That’s it for me folks. Gas 4.69 a gallon here.

Watch TV.

Fred

Ok, eye wall continues to fold. Looks like storm is staking vertically. Looks like a cat 3. Lets see if it gets to 4.

This is indeed the big one.

Fred

It sure like the Johnson Space Center is somewhere down there.

Let me rephrase that.

It sure looks like the Johnson Space Center, somewhere down there.

Hmmmm ....

I wonder whose bright idea it was to add "Ike" to the list of hurricane names?

In the ancient world, the right hand was the action hand. The hand that Caesar's subjects kissed, to beg for favors and show loyalty.

In this case, your right hand came back less than whole, so I don't think loyalty or favors were the expectation. Instead, I think a mouth full of well placed fire, is what you might conclude.

The death toll will never be known. Rumors say 20,000. They are just missing, per Fox News

"Rumors say" that some guy built a big boat a long time ago, and helped his family to safety.

Why do you think I underlined [the lines] in the verse ... "there upon the rainbow, is the answer to a never ending story?"

DX,

I don't hear you saying much about the proposed socialist bailout of the U.S. financial system. Didn't you say that those "socialists" should be done away with? How prophetic you are, my friend.

Here's [a list] of impossible tasks the government shall ask us to perform. The one that could save us, is missing, and dismissed as the voice of madness.

Here's [Cokie Roberts] on ABC's This Week, talking about "sackcloth and ashes."

I have ["a feeling"] that the outcome may be a little different.

Been away several days from all things that constitute madness on the earth. As far as discussing an American 'socialist', I'm truly embarrassed to even think about it and what has or will take place to big 'USA' business. If that is democracy then its an complete foolish undertaking for the rest of the world to see.

'America becomes Canada' overnight?...In my mind this movement is totally unthinkable and I will not entertain any of it in my thinking!

The world is definitely not as it seems. I do not know what it is anymore.

No more discussion on it, please RW...its too painful to believe.

Fair enough, my friend. I respect your opinion, as always.

Speaking of "madness," I have a serious complaint against the state of confusion, so I'm calling for back up. This business of trying to run me off the road is not good for business.

As the birds fly during a cyclone, confuse their way. Now, make the friendly skies, unfriendly. Come undone ... 32/33

The latest [GFDL model run] is interesting, for what should become the 11th named storm.

I wonder if it's too much to ask, to see those little vipers up on Capitol Hill scatter to their home dens, rattling their tails in disbelief. The False Prophet's talking heads stuttering in tandem.

I suppose you could argue that one year doesn't make a "plague," but ... I wouldn't [count on it.]

It's no accident that the wheels fell off of Wall Street immediately following hurricane Ike. It's also no surprise that [this seal] depicts a skeleton, waiting on a key.

[I'm not the hero, but ... He is coming soon]

I think I like you because you use weather that is an act of god. Us weather types just look at weather as, well, weather.

If a good storm is brewing I will post it here and you can interpret the social implications.

Winter Storm Warnings likely in central and Northern Rockies next 72 hours.

NW jet will dig SW into the central Rockies next 72 Hours. Surface high will move off the East Coast and broad Low pressure will develop in the southern plains. Upper level cold air will enhance cyclogeneses over central Rockies.

With this in mind, Heavy Snow Warnings likely 108-120 hours mountains of Northern Utah, Colorado and Wyoming. Surface storm will move northeast resulting in Heavy Snow of 1-3 ft in higher elevations above 3000 ft. Rain will change to snow in the high plains.

Temperatures will drop into the teens with winds 20-30 mph in the Rockies. Temperatures in the upper 20’s and low 30’s with NNE winds 25-35 mph western Nebraska south Dakota

Precip will end as Heavy wet snow across Minnesota and UP of Michigan. Temps in the mid 30’s and wind NNW 20 -30 MPH

Sorry about the spelling , now who is the weatherman?
