Yeah, Cape Canaveral was right in the path. Too bad. I guess she'll report in when time permits.

And there might be more on the way already. Hurricane season has started with a big bang, and it's still early. There are two brewing already again, Danielle and another one, Not sure of their track or strength yet, though.

Hiya! Nope, it didn't come my way exactly. Thanks for thinking about me, though. I hope Dorothy is alright. I'll be bringing some of my household disaster supplies to the Red Cross tomorrow, 'cause I can always buy more this week...

For those of you who live are unfamiliar with these sorts of storms, the Weather Channel in the US has a slide show of Charley:

Not that it matters right now, but Michael Palin is about to kill some Yorkies on Women's Entertainment Television, so I'll see you tomorrow.
