LOL! I found a 45rpm record of that song at a flea market a few years ago.

My kids LOVE it!!

It looks like Bertha is headed right for The Big Easy. It will be the first tropical storm to get there in decades. If it gains any strength, it will be very dangerous. Some places there are below sea level.

I can't remember anything from my 10th grade Spanish class, but I can recall stuff like this.

My parents are sooooo proud!

Hopefully it will bring some drought relief without the devastation.

We really need mucho rain. Our main lake is over 12 feet from full pool. There are no docks in the water and we are only a little ways from not being able to use the boat ramps.

Give this a try for those radar images. Satellite images too. And I think you'll like their "editorials" as well.
