Oh, bizi, I hope you're wrong about the tropical storm in the gulf. I understood it couldn't organize because of wind sheer from the west. I heard about lots of rain on the north shore, but no other tropical characteristics.

Yep, other parts of the country sure could use it more.

Do you remember the guy who wanted to drag icebergs from the North Pole to desert countries in the Middle East? This was in the nineties, before the arctic started disappearing.

Anyway, now that I'm having to leave my beloved New Mexico, we're neighbors--only a gulf apart!
