It is not the tomatos!
WASHINGTON Government inspectors finally have a big clue in the nationwide salmonella outbreak: They found the same bacteria strain on a single Mexican-grown jalapeno pepper handled in Texas and issued a stronger warning for consumers to avoid fresh jalapenos.

From the Coast Guard Mets, they think there is nothing significant enough to cause 94L to turn to a more northerly course. They are predicting that 94L's westerly track should continue thru the next 74-96 hours. They feel that 94L has presently lost its potential for development into a tropical event "right now" but they are reporting that if it holds together thru 74-96 hours, it will then enter an area that will give 94L the potential to again grow into a tropical event.

I really don't have any idea if the kids could swim or not, nor do I know their ages.
Yes, it is a salt water canal and there are quite a few boats coming and going all the time.
What amazed me is that the adults seemed to be too busy with their party to pay any attention to the kids. As long as the kids weren't bothering them, that was good.
Made me think back to when I was a kid and all the adult supervision I had from either one or both of my parents.... Read Full Story
I'm so glad they're all still doing so well. They are just adorably weird, so I guess anything they do is normal for them, always full of surprises. Mine made it through the storm fine. I don't think at least the one that nearly drowned would have if they weren't taken out of the situation. Now I've only got 3 of the babies and the dad. I noticed a hawk or something on the perch just last week. That was scary.
I'm going to be out of town soon for over a month and I'm kind of bummed... Read Full Story
Wow, that just made me feel all warm and fuzzy. hehe. really, I truly hope we can start really focusing on this renewable, clean source. Nuclear always worried me. I can vaguely remember reading something in the 70's about how they need to dump bazillions of gallons of very hot water into the ocean to cool off the generators. Does anyone know if that's true? If it is, has anyone thought about that connection with global warming since we have so many plants that have been running for a... Read Full Story

This is NOAA's "LIKELY" Probability Map for Hurricanes forming in July 2008 .

OK, the mets are starting to chatter about an area of disturbance that has developed between Africa and the Lesser Antilles.
The disturbance is significant enough that it is being designated 94L
This NOAA graphic depicts 94L as the Orange Circle #1
