Sassy Cow Road Trip

Here is a plan. Meet in or around the Kurth tonight. If you are not driving to The Cow try not to leave your car in the Kurth parking lot.

They have a tour at 7:00 and it'll take about 18 minutes to get there. The best way (I think) is to Hyway 73 South out of Columbus, then veer RIGHT on Bristol Road and follow it

The first decision you will need to make in your lactose deficient state of mind will be at a "T" intersection. Fear not - just make The RIGHT Choice and go right.

The next choice will be once you hit "N". Make a left and and you will see The Cow's red building. BINGO!!

See you in Columbus tonight!

Very sad news for Stop Light Guy!!! Universal accidentally destroyed his original Chicago Stop Light, the one that was used as a template for making copies which were used in Columbus. It was destroyed six months ago but they failed to actually inform him and he needed lawyers to find out. They promised him it's safety when they borrowed it but . . . . . .

I HOPE he gets a pretty good compensation and a replacement light from the movie. I wonder what the replacement value is for an original.

Makes the Pitcher Car owners a little worried doesn't it.

"YEA - NO HARM WILL COME TO YOUR CARS!! - WE PROMISE!! AND IF SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN - WE WON'T TELL YOU!!!"

Here John is in happier times!!

John - next time you are in Columbus I'll buy you a beer at the Kurth. It really is the least I can do!

Wait . . . . . that didn't come out right!

Gustav and Hanna

First Gustav - SURPRISE JAMAICA - I'M HERE!!!!!

This is the kind of hurricane where Wisconsin could feel some of the effects with rain. In the last 24 hours Gustave has significantly increased in size with some impressive banding. A ridge of pressure that has been steering Gustav west for the last few days is fading and a Bermuda High is building which will steer Big G more to the Northwest.

The real interesting thing is a High over Ohio Valley which is playing havoc with many of the models. But that is the future. Once Gustav leaves Jamaica it is goign to REALLY intensify. Very little wind shear (wind shear - like blowing foam of the top of whip cream) and deep warm water of the Caribbean will create a powerful hurricane very very quickly.

Oil Platforms in the Gulf

THEN . . . . there is Hanna!! Little quirky Hanna!

Hanna has so many things pushing and pulling at it that it''s sort of a wild card. It could hit Cuba by next Thursday or pass through the Keys on Thursday or even hit the South Carolina coast. Hannah is a mystery at the moment.

Three years ago today Katrina slammed into New Orleans. The one thing that I really remember about this even was on Monday morning once Katrina had left and a newsman was standing in a New Orleans street saying things seemed calm, yet the street "in the last 15 minutes" was starting to flood from an unknown source.

I knew at THAT moment that the real storm was about to hit and I still get chills remembering that moment. While he was standing there with a question mark over his head I was thinking this was the beginning of some unknown catastrophe.

Today in 1960 Hurricane Donna forms near Cape Verde off the African coast. It would go on to cause 150 deaths from Puerto Rico to New England over the next two weeks.

On September 9, winds with speeds of up to 200 miles per hour battered the Florida Keys before Donna skipped back to the Atlantic Ocean. The storm then rode the Florida coastline, causing 13 deaths in Fort Myers and Daytona Beach. The state’s grapefruit and orange crops also took devastating blows and almost half of the largest mangrove tree forest in the United States was lost. It was the strongest storm to hit Florida until Andrew in 1992.

OK - McCain has used a gimmick and taken the female Governor in her first term as a running mate. I'm not even going to get into that!!

Does he REALLY think people are that stupid????

Her main job as VP will be to carry McCain's defibrillator.

Why not just pick Hillary if you are trying to sway the Hillary voters - make more sense rather then pick Palin who finished second in the Miss Alaska beauty pageant and holds a bachelor's degree in journalism.

================================

Now I must stop before I get irritated at political gimmickry
