Happy Birthday, Casperflea!

Oh dear. I hear that Katrina has been upgraded to Cat 5.

I hope it swerves and hits Crawford.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I hope it swerves and hits Crawford.

Sadly, they'd evacuate the Shrub and leave all the poor folks stuck there. I think if Mother Nature wants to take him out a rattle snake on his bike trail might be a better option.

And while I'm channelling Pat Robertson, why not take out this asswipe?

Trust my rage

Happy Birthday, Casper! May you have a wonderful start to an exciting (hah!) year!

Have you heard the Arrogant Worms' song, The War Of 1812?

I don't think so.

The National Weather Service guy being interviewed on NPR just said "potentially catastrophic." I take that kind of phrasing much more seriousy from them than from the Weather Channel. Yeesh.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Weather Channel Website says Katrina's winds are up to 175.

This could be worse than Camille.

When you realize only three catagory 5 hurricanes have hit in the history of hurricane record keeping, yeah, that's some scary stuff. I hope anyone on the gulf-coast is beating feet out of their right now or hunkered down somewhere relatively safe.

move out and draw fire

But, you know, there's nothing to global warming.

My non-Buffista NOLA friends are 50% evacuated, 50% staying there. I'm pretty worried for them, and everybody.

Casper and her daddy are putting home-made play-doh in the garlic press, with great glee. We are expecting more little girls in 3 hours.

I can't believe two years ago today she looked like this: [link]

And now she looks like this: [link]

How did this happen!?!

I am also not happy about this bad hurricane.
