LAtest Vortex is in. Looks like the inner eyewall is collapsing. Picked up 123 KT in both NE and SW quads. Pressure up slightly to 915 (which supports the inner eyewall collapse)

Isn't "idiot reporter" an oxymoron?

No, it’s redundant.

"Dude, I'd take a 30 or 40 round carbine over a pistol or revolver"

You got that right. The primary function of a handgun is personal defense at close range. Your primary weapon is your rifle. I have both an HK-91 and an AR-15 and if I have to hump either one and the appropriate ammo in the bush for a significant distance, I will take the AR.

Personal preference is fine for the pistol range and plinking, but when it come to real life combat I will take a tried and true weapon every time.

Is that an eyewall replacement cycle?

Busy tracking back through the AF runs. They had to have taken that one on the way out of their SW-NE run; that's how it slipped past my notice.

Hi, there. Have you checked out the Jackson, MS NOAA special weather statement? They're warning that we may have power outages here again. Vicksburg is probably more likely to have them than Ridgeland. Anyway, we have a generator that we borrowed for Katrina and haven't returned yet. So, if your power goes off tomorrow, you and hubby are welcome at our place.

Not so good it has taken so long... she might not go through another before landfall. Still some warm waters to go through.

Thank goodness the kids are about grown so I can quit diving into that 2-ring inflatable pool!!

It didn't hurt much but it did leave head shape dents in the yard.

One was a head shaped dent in the concrete.



That one was shaped like my wife's head!!
