Doing some back checking, I found out that Hurricane David came through in 1979 and the name was retired. How appropriate. So I’ll never be a hurricane again. You can see how bad I was.

I wish Orphelia would make up her mind. Tropical storm, then hurricane, then tropical storm. Then going to hit the NC/SC sea coast, then going back out to the ocean, then coming back stateside. No offense to any of the possible tropical depressions, but I think the US has had enough storm damage for 2005. Stay out east and brood and we’ll see you in 2006.

Oh, and if you didn’t get the reference in the title, it’s a funny line by a really, really bad weather man. There’s a video clip floating around on the Internet. I couldn’t find one to link in, but I bet my cow-orkers have it. (Tip: the titles always refer back to something somewhere in the post, even if it doesn’t appear to make sense or is the main point of the post. Blog post titles for me are like the exact opposite of what good email subjects should be. But, making you wonder why I chose that and how it links back is part of the fun of reading this. Or maybe it’s just fun for me.)

In other news, I’m 100% in my class right now after getting the first assignment back. Woot. I decided not to the reading response this week, although I wouldn’t mind having more discussions about Paul Otlet. Having a mailbox in the LIS building is kind of cool, until you realize you’re just a hanging Pendaflex folder in a big drawer of students. The CS grads have it better with an actual box in an actual room.
