August 27, 201213 yr Can't sleep. Have 7" of rain so far and coming in at 1.5" an hour. Interesting that just a few miles south, it's only 4". Though I'm not into flooded streets, I'm secretly hoping there's just enough to not be able to make it in to work tomorrow.
August 27, 201213 yr Yes, stay safe and dry Floridians. Hope you get enough rain to get a 'skip' day at work tomorrow, Vicki.
August 27, 201213 yr School called. University I attend closed. University where I teach closed. Bit of rain down where we are but nothing to cancel class over. Not even strong winds. Stay dry everyone.
August 27, 201213 yr easier to cancel before the emergency than explain to parents why they killed their kids
August 28, 201213 yr Indeed, base is closed for the next two days and I might leave if my power goes out.
August 28, 201213 yr The Stennis Space Center in Mississippi is completely shut down for the next 3 days. Every projected path for Isaac is aimed RIGHT at them.
August 28, 201213 yr I've got MLB.tv and was flipping through some games at random this evening, when I heard this: "Well, we're winding down August, which as you know is national sandwich month..." No, actually, I didn't know that, but that's what I watch baseball games for.
August 28, 201213 yr Got back today from an 8-day trip from Colorado to North Carolina and back, to get my daughter moved into college. I was amazed that we could pack all her gear into the car and still see through the back window over the boxes. I was afraid we'd have to use the roof-top box that cuts 10-15% of our gas mileage. According to the trip computer our 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca averaged 22.5 mpg by the end of the 3500 miles, but only achieved 21.6 on the way out there due to the bike rack and extra weight from all her stuff. So we had to get at least 23.5 mpg on the return trip (uphill) to bring up the average. Anyway, I don't think I ever want to do this again. We now have 99,850 miles on the car and when we do end up replacing it I'd like to find another 7 passenger AWD vehicle about the same size but with better gas mileage that's still as much fun to drive. Whatever we do, I'd likely be looking at a 2-3 year old used car and not taking out a loan on a new car. A 2010 Toyota Highlander Hybrid might be just the thing. We almost traded this car in for a 2009 MDX a few days before the trip, but with only $11,500 trade-in the difference in price was too high, and actual gas mileage was almost 10% less (the MDX trip computer showed about 18.5 mpg over the past 3,000 miles, while the Tribeca was averaging 20.1 before the trip). I hope someday you'll get past your gear OCPD.
August 29, 201213 yr Yeah, maybe if I up my dose. Job interview tomorrow for me, currently studying up in preparation.
August 29, 201213 yr This just in - convention coverage geared especially for certain Head-Casers: Exotic dancers Jill and Monica from the most notorious of Tampa's all-nude clubs Mons Venus get ready to perform less than six miles from where the Republicans gather for the 2012 Republican National Convention in Florida August 28, 2012. Tampa, the city that is home to the originator of the lap dance and has been called the strip club capital of the country, is geared up for an influx of randy Republicans. Extra strippers have been hired and delegate discounts have been offered. (Douliery-Hahn/Abaca Press/MCT) ORG XMIT: 1127998
August 29, 201213 yr Thanks. I don't know if I want it yet, I'll find out tomorrow along with whether he wants me. He being the president of the company, and the person who called me in to interview.
August 29, 201213 yr Carl, old news Strippers look to GOP to 'make it rain' http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/23/politics/tampa-gop-strip-clubs/index.html Or Some comments ... the reason they aren’t going is because leftwing activists are camping outside every strip club in the area with cameras looking to get pics of important GOPers going in…the RNC has issued orders for no members to go to titters…to not give libs any ammo ... Fuckd up world we live in where a politician can’t go get a lap dance and donate some of that donation money to hard working single moms. Shit ain’t right.
August 29, 201213 yr Job interview tomorrow for me, currently studying up in preparation. Extra strippers have been hired and delegate discounts have been offered. ... Good luck, assuming you want the job that is.Oh my.
August 29, 201213 yr Carl, old news Strippers look to GOP to 'make it rain' http://www.cnn.com/2...lubs/index.html Holy crap. That story must be 80 inches long. Two photographers and a correspondent who can actually report. Somebody in this business isn't bankrupt.
