Vacation is now officially over for us at PlaneBusiness — this week PlaneBusiness Banter returns for its 11th Anniversary Issue, I am now back at my PlaneBuzz post, the official Worldwide Headquarters is back online, and well, it’s time to get back to work and enjoy the fact that college football season is upon us.

But wait.

A friend of mine who hangs out in our Weather Watchers forum thought I might like to see this notable change in future projected movement for Hurricane Ike this morning — the latest hurricane churning through the Caribbean.

Yes, this is the storm that weather forecasters had previously said would just move towards the North Atlantic and not be a problem for anyone.

Yep. That’s what they said. Yesterday.

As one member of our Weather Watcher forum wrote this morning, “Does this mean I just call up and make reservations at the same hotel again — starting next Thursday?” Another commented that one thing it did mean was that he was not going to take the boards off his house.

<sigh>
