I’m checking email, handling administrivia, and generally fucking around on the internet before torts… not because I don’t have work to do, mind you, but because at this particular instant I have no desire to do it. I might be going to get my laptop tonight. Maybe. We’ll see. Depends on how I do at [...]
Most of you couldn’t care less… but Kevin and I’s happy little college football blog is really off to a quick start this year. Our peak page-views last season was something in the neighborhood of 180,000… we’re coming up on 275,000 for the month and the season hasn’t even started yet. This could be a big [...]
With the departure of Tuscaloosa’s most prolific hurricane blogger (short of James Spann) it looks like there are some folks stepping up to take my place. (See: Ivan Updates: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10) For pictures of what heary rain and wind does to Tuscaloosa, see Kim and Laura Thanks [...]

Pete = Moron. I forgot to set my alarm clock last night after our power outage. Luckily, for whatever reason, I’ve been having a hard time sleeping past 8:00 regardless of what time I went to bed the night before. Could it be that I’m becomming a … morning person?? Anyhow… looked at my clock at 7:55 and [...]

I’ve had this discussion 4 different times with 3 different people and it annoys me every single time.

I know that I’m not even remotely meteorological, but if you’re not familiar with the worst case scenario for a hurricane landfall in New Orleans, read this Georges, a Category 2 storm that only grazed New Orleans, had pushed waves to within a foot of the top of the levees. A stronger storm on a slightly [...]
WARNING: Tedius 1L nonsense ahead. Proceed with caution. Today was a pretty good day, all in all. I’m finally getting to know folks, so that’s a plus. We have high-speed internet now, though it’s requiring us to use wireless even on the desktop PCs which seems like a horrible waste. It was a good day for [...]
