Fay again? More like Feh

I spent today navigating (slowly) north through the S-curved remnants of Fay -- one tornado north of Cordele, another north of Macon, both forecast to pass over I-75. Georgia Public Radio apologized for interrupting some calming Ravel and Dvorak with disquieting news, but I was grateful for the heads-ups.

Less grateful for the blinding rains, but I guess a few hours of elevated adrenaline levels can be aerobic.

At any rate, Tennessee seems to be getting about the same net rain from the storm that Key West did. At least it was a new experience: driving into a storm one week, and back into it a week later.

Found this little ditty in the gossip section of the SF Chronic for you Islanders, no matter where you roam.

Watching the convention on MSNBC, Glenn Reid noticed a crawl at the bottom of the screen saying that Hurricane Gustav was probably going to assault "the Florida straights." "Many in Key West no doubt breathed sighs of relief that they would be spared," cracks Reid.
