Last night ended up being a much later night than expected, with this morning arriving correspondingly extra soon.

Biscuit: Kitten of confusion, has discovered windchimes (inside for Fay protection) she is alternatively intrigued and almost scared

Error bars in Fay's track mean it could head out to the Atlantic mature to a hurricane then come back over Tampa Bay area.

First it was hammerhead sharks. Now I saw a large manta ray jump several feet out of the water here in Gulfport. Awesome!

Today is "Help everyone move away from the default avatar day" Faceless blogger, I'm (trying to) looking at you!

Hammerhead Shark!!! Saw one swimming around the pier here in Gulfport, FL. Most excitement related to #Fay so far.

It may be that I'm tired.. but I have an image in my head of Capt Kirk staring at a radar image of Fl. and screaming "FAY" in place of KAHN!

Long day on location with http://exit727.com get the day off tomorrow... and maybe part of Wednesday... time to find hatches to batten.

The contrast in customer service between Apple and AT&T reps is amazing. Apple cares about my experience and AT&T that I send a check.

listening to Gabriel & Dresden

Today I go and upgrade to iPhone 3G... but due to account problems can only go to AT&T store and all stores have a 21 day waiting period. :(

All clouds and no meteors last night. Was hard to even find the moon. Hoping for a break in the weather tonight. Yay Perseids!
