On what should be our big day of writing and editing PlaneBusiness Banter — unfortunately my day has so far turned into a day of going through check lists (cat food- yes, dog food- yes, people food, needs work, water- need more, yard- stuff needs to be brought inside, PlaneDad – he needs to go get food, gasoline, etc.)

Why is this, when if one goes to the National Hurricane Center website they say there is “no cyclonic activity” in the Gulf/Atlantic?

I don’t think they are going to be saying that after their recon plane gets back to Keesler Air Force base after its 11:30 run.  This water vapor image from this morning shows you why.

As I said earlier this week when this thing was flopping around over Florida, I just am not in the mood for Jerry. (I didn’t check to see if “Kramer” is the next name on the list, but interestingly, there is another suspicious looking tropical disturbance right behind this one.)

Yippee.
