What a difference a day makes. Ike is now intent on ravaging Cuba, though what they've done to deserve the strafing I'm not sure; perhaps they are just Godless communists and Our Lady of Lourdes decided they deserved a brisk spanking more than we fruits and nuts and idlers do. Anyway so far so good, the National Hurricane Center says we may only get sideswiped and that's all to the good. I'm still putting everything away because if I do get stuck at work for a few days I feel better knowing I took every (useless) precaution.
The gas stations are still packed and the lines are starting to get annoying. Tourists are evacuating so money is hemorrhaging out of the Keys and quite a few residents who remember Wilma seem to be packing up to go as well.
I dropped the wife off at the airport this morning amidst a huge gaggle of Turkey bound women gathered at the unloading area and I got a nasty snit from the Sheriff's deputy telling me to move my car along. See if I send help next time she asks for it at two o'clock in the morning... Wouldn't it be great if I could pick and choose who to send back up to?

Tra-la tra-la.
I will be very disappointed if Ike lets us down.
