More On Philippines Typhoon Fengshen; More Flood Photos June 24, 2008

Our weather looks great today.  Forecast on track otherwise.  Our best chance for good thunderstorms is Saturday with a front approaching.  After today the humidity will return with a vengeance but should only be here through Saturday.

National Geographic has some interesting things from the Typhoon:

And something else from National Geographic and their week of photos.  One includes a story that appears to be very popular with them…it’s about naked cyclists who seem to be riding in the buff to protest oil.  I think it was just an excuse to ride naked.  When I was a kid, National Geographic was always a good source for looking at naked people. It’s the second of the 7 top stories…Midwest flooding was number one.

No Big Deal-Check out The Gallery Flood Photos June 18, 2008

There is no big deal regarding anything today or for the following days. Today, maybe isolated stuff late but the guy coming down the pike is weakening and as worthless as I always thought. Pop up stuff mainly. Scattered activity Friday and Saturday and late Sunday into early Monday. Possible, not probable in this scenario something worthwhile is involved. It’s one of those deals where the chance for rain isn’t great, but if we did, then there might be a reasonable chance the storm gets strong….but that’s for F, S and Sun…not to today. Today looks pretty worthless…which means it’s pretty good.

Speaking of good…you really need to check out the photos from the Iowa flooding. If you’ve been to Des Moines, you will be amazed at the shots of down town.

The Cedar Rapids Gazette has lots of pictures but scroll down until you find the one about the rail road bridge collapse. Really amazing. The bridge collapsed with loaded railroad cars on it. You can see the power of the river as loaded freight cars get swept down the river.

These are the same galleries as in the previous post. It’ just they may have gotten lost in the Global Warming talk. Usually I get attacked from the left. Not it appears some people are not reading for content so now I’m being attacked from people who think I’m in Al Gore’s back pocket, which anyone who’s read these here pages knows is far far from reality.

Question: Can anyone tell me why all of a sudden I’ve had about 35 hits from people looking for stuff on John Wilkes Booth?
