Forget Hanna - Watch Out for Ike

Hurricane Hanna will blow a lot, rain a lot, and toss lawn chairs around the east coast but that is about it.

It's Ike we need to watch now!!! Ike was just downgraded to a Cat3 but will increase back to a Cat4 soon.

Here is the official "comments" from NOAA. It's funny how it's all in CAPS. I guess meteorologists can not be bothered to use the SHIFT key, they have way way more important things on their minds.

THE MID-LEVEL RIDGE HAS SETTLED IN DIRECTLY NORTH OF IKE...AS THE
HIGH-LATITUDE TROUGH DEPARTS ATLANTIC CANADA...AND THE HURRICANE IS
NOW HEADED DUE WESTWARD OR 270/13.  NEXT TO DEPART THE WESTERN
ATLANTIC SCENE WILL BE HANNA...AND ALL DYNAMICAL MODELS SAY THAT IN
ITS PLACE THE RIDGE WILL EXTEND SOUTHWESTWARD TO FLORIDA IN A
COUPLE OF DAYS.  A KEY UNKNOWN FOR THE 3-5 DAY FORECAST IS HOW
STRONG THAT RIDGE WILL BE AND HOW LONG IT WILL REMAIN INTACT.  IN
GENERAL DURING THE LAST DAY OR TWO THE MODELS HAVE BEEN TRENDING
TOWARD THE RIDGE STAYING IN PLACE LONGER...RESULTING IN TRACKS
MAINTAINING THE GENERALLY WESTWARD MOTION LONGER AND DELAYING ANY
POTENTIAL TURN TO THE NORTH.  THAT TREND HAS CONTINUED SOMEWHAT ON
THIS CYCLE...BUT THE CONSENSUS HAS ONLY SHIFTED WEST SLIGHTLY AT
DAYS 4 AND 5.

IT' FOOTBALL SEASON!!!!

First thing is . . . . I do not think there will be a field trip to Columbus International Stadium this week. HOWEVER - there will be one in the future just not tonight.

For anyone looking to make some cold hard cash betting on pro football go to my other blog Grinders Warehouse (where it all began). But read this first as it will be a little redundant.

BTW - I have $$ on the Packers. I might be a homey when it comes to rooting (not turning up with my snout, rooting) for my team but I will bet against them in a blink of an eye if I think I could make money on them. Remember - I did have a national 1-900 line at one time in my life for picking football games with ad's in National rags.

Go with the Packers!

This comes from Football Outsiders when discussing the Jet/Dolphens game.

Here’s a checklist of Favre Money Shots for Week 1. Collect them all and shout “Bingo.”

• A pre-snap closeup of the eyes that launched a thousand journalistic man-crushes. The Jets may be in a Wing-T formation with Mike Nugent at running back and Brad Smith at center, but you wouldn’t know because you are lost … lost … lost in his hypnotic stare.
• 
  
• Favre celebrating after a good play. Because he just has more fun than the rest of us.
• 
  
• Favre offering sage advice to Kellen Clemens. He’s more than a legend; he’s a mentor.
• 
  
• A “Favre Timeline” graphic of his summer soap opera with the Packers. Because we all want to relive that.
• 
  
• Favre pointing to himself after an interception or bad pass and smiling. It’s on me. My bad. He’s not just a legend and a mentor, he’s selfless.
• 
  
• One of those long tracking shots from the pregame warmups, the ones that start around the ankles, move lovingly up the hips and torso, then end with Favre’s determined gaze as he slings the ball to an assistant coach. Directors used to shoot Goldie Hawn like that in the 1960s. It was a better time.

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

I have been watching the Republican hate speech's with disinterest the last few days . . .wait . . . no I haven't. Never mind.

I have been looking at photos of Ms. Palin the . . . poopy-head that . . . . did I just type that out loud? I apologize if I have offended anyone. That was underhanded and I normally do not use that word unless I'm at a dog show and then I just can't stop.

ANYWAY - I have been looking at her many photos and being a guy that watches fashion (it is fashion week you know?) and I can see a new trend starting. Rimless glasses. Having what could be the most powerful woman in America (15% chance) wearing that style I can see it becoming a hot trend in the vision care market. Lenscrafters is gearing up.

Seriously though - they are very becoming.

BTW - those rims she is wearing cost$375. NOT including the glass. Total package for her glasses is over $700. In her home she looked at 300 rims before deciding.

Speaking of politics - here is a little funny from The Daily Show. Thank goodness many Americans get their news from Late Night talk shows and shows like this.

And if Stop Light Dude is still reading this (I do not know his political affiliation). Here is a lovely look at one of his lights.


So long buddy.

Looking at the upcoming New Fall TV shows I can not believe that Knight Rider is only getting a ONE (1) on the Expect-o-Meter (out of a possible 10). WHAT - It stars Jamie from All My Children, how can it only get a ONE (1). Maybe a TWO (2) but a ONE? (1?).

sigh!
