Interesting to see where the money came from...

I hope you took the opportunity to vote. Can't wait to sit back tonight with a bag of popcorn, a beer, and the TV, to watch the analysts dance and dance.

Line 'em up

Fay. Gustav. Hanna. Ike. Josephine. It's the tropical storm busy season - and this year has had a bumper crop. The folks in south Florida have had a difficult time focusing on anything but the storms that have been rolling in every few days. Fortunately it looks like Hanna is going to stay to the...

Hurricane Gustav and TS Hanna

Poor New Orleans is right there in the center of the bulls eye for Gustav. Forecasted to make landfall sometime early morning to the west of New Orleans, it is expected to grow to a category 4 hurricane. Ouch. MSNBC has a nice interactive tracking program here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26295161/ ...

Bowling part 2 (TS Fay makes landfall)

Fay hit the state for a second time this morning a little bit south of Ft. Myers. The good news (for Tampa folks anyway) is that it seems to be drifting more to the east as it heads north. We haven't had a drop of rain from it yet. So far the prevailing wind keeps shearing the rain eastward as it...

Bowling?

Hmmm. Tampa is usually one of the gutters in the Gulf of Mexico Hurricane Bowling Alley. But this time, it appears as though we're right in the pocket for (currently) Tropical Storm Fay.

Closing in on July 4 and the Rays...

Are back in first place again. The new stadium initiative has died (again), but the Rays continue their winning ways. Last night they took the second game in a series against Boston. That's the best record in MLB right now. The All Star break is just around the corner. How long can they keep it up...

Afternoon thunderstorms

I love living in Tampa. One of the reasons? The almost daily afternoon thunderstorms that roll through for an hour or so then go away. Right now the sky is almost pitch black, the thunder is rolling, and the rain is about to come down in buckets.

Through Memorial Day

And the Rays have the best record in baseball. Cool.

It's May, and the Rays are where?

We're way into May and what's this about the Rays? 2nd place in the AL East? #5 in the AL itself? A game ahead of the Yankees? That's gotta be a misprint. Well, the Yankees have gotten off to a slow start the past few years but always come roaring back. Question is: how long can the Rays...

Lasagne, pizza.

One for lunch, the other for dinner. The result? I'm suddenly wide awake at 4 AM.
