Our hero, Ripley Wild (did I mention you can visit him on FaceBook?) has been practicing the art of "hunkering down" for the oncoming Tropical Storm Isaac. He only understands that tropical storms bring lots of rain, and he's not a big fan of going outside to do his business in the rain.
Meanwhile, the map at the right shows the Cone of Uncertainty and compared to two prior blog entries (this is our broadcast weather report, via blog) has moved dramatically to the west, and continues the established NNW track. This is exactly 24 hours from the prior blog entry map, and 96 hours since I began this narrative. I am prepared, having taken down our patio furniture and umbrellas, and also helping two subdivision trustees in securing the pool furniture. In two-and-a-half hours (1800 hrs) the neighborhood "hurricane party' begins - and I'm prepared for that as well. Ripley is ready, I am ready, and my wife is in Missouri - c'mon Isaac, hit me with your best shot......with a wimpy hame like that, I bet T.S. Debby last month could land a harder punch.
