Tropical Storm Ike has formed in the Atlantic.   By this weekend, it is expected to be a hurricane and getting near the Turks and Bahamas.

Wow, I hope that we are not going to get to alpha and beta like a few years ago. This is really going to impact more cruises.

I am glad that I got off a ship on 8-21.

Apparently, I don't know how to put the map here where it will update.   So if one of you who does know how will do so, please do.

Signed:    Allen II

Also, I thought we could go back to edit our own posts at any time.   When I tried to edit the first post to put this info in, I got a message saying I can only edit for the first hour.   Did that change or was I just misinformed???

Signed:    Betty

Allen II, I just copy & paste.

Betty, it used to be that way, but it was changed a few months ago (probably when you were among the missing).

Here's the graphic for Ike.

With all the grief Hanna is going to cause up the east coast, Ike may be the big one.   Ike will most likely be a hurricane before this day is out as winds are now 70 and this thing is well formed.   With the high pressure ridge forming over the Atlantic, Ike could very well be a major hurricane by the time it reaches the Bahamas on Monday.

Very possible that southern Florida and then the Gulf is its target.

Keep your best eye on Hanna this week, but don't ignore this guy.

Bring back an old quiz. Not only did I remember them all, I remember record players and 78’s that was before hi-fi’s and 45’s. I also remember the ice man delivering ice for the ice box, coal stoves for heating, wood and kerosene stoves for cooking, and trekking to the outhouse in winter, as well as baths in a number 3 wash tub.

Allen may remember when my mother was born.

And if I have a choice, I choose the wake over a colonoscopy. (For me...not Allen)

Older Than Dirt Quiz: Count all the ones
that you remember not the ones you were told about Ratings
at the bottom.

1. Blackjack chewing gum
2. Wax Coke-shaped bottles with colored
sugar water
3. Candy cigarettes
4. Soda pop machines that dispensed glass
bottles
5. Coffee shops or diners with tableside
juke boxes
6 Home milk delivery in glass bottles with
cardboard stoppers
7. Party lines
8. Newsreels before the movie
9. P.F. Flyers
10. Butch wax
11. Telephone numbers with a word prefix
(OLive-6933)
12. Peashooters
13. Howdy Doody
14. 45 RPM records
15. S&H Green Stamps
16 Hi-fi's

17. Metal ice trays with lever
18. Mimeograph paper
19 Blue flashbulb
20. Packards
21. Roller skate keys
22. Cork popguns
23. Drive-ins
24. Studebakers
25. Wash tub wringers

If you remembered 0-5 = You're still
young

If you remembered 6-10 = You are getting
older
If you remembered 11-15 = Don't tell
your age,
If you remembered 16-25 = You're older
than dirt!

I'm worried, too, Chris!  Have you heard on your local weather how Sunday will be weather-wise?  We're still planning to drive back from Fla on Sunday.
