Okay, I’ve tried this twice to no avail. But since I’m new to this, I’m willing to give it one more chance.

(After one more try, I removed the Feedster HTML due to nonresponse of claim feed recognition at 12:43pm!!!)

I’m trying to keep up with what is going on in New Orleans via CNN on satellite. All of a sudden a report of another airliner crash! What does that make, 4 0r 5 in less then 2 months?

Happy Labor Day. Here on the rock we are in TC-1C. It looks like we are going to luck out on this one. So far not much damage, just a few knocked-over plants and rearranged bushes. Because this is such a large system, we’ll probably end up spending the day indoors. But for those people who are not going to let this blowhard ruin the holiday, it means Typhoon Party. So have a good one!

Well true to form, it’s September and the blowhards (typhoons) are wasting no time this year. Right now we are in TC-1. Luckily the brunt of this particualr storm is suppose to go above us. But the year isn’t over yet. The way things with Mom Nature have been going this year, I expect t least one good duel with the blowhards by November.
