Cone of Uncertainty

As the latest hurricane, so called Wilma, bears down on the Gulf I am keeping my eyes on the weather, hopefully wondering if I've timed my arrival in Florida well enough to miss the last of these silly storms.

Of course I can't really tell because the weather man says the Florida Gulf Coast is in a "cone of uncertainty." Yeah, not what you'd call encouraging.

Perhaps it will land here. Perhaps it will not land here. I am fairly certain about the fact that if I flipped a coin I'd have roughly the same odds as the educated weatherman is overpaid to give me.

So maybe I'll still be here come Monday or possibly I'll be clinging to a palm tree, I can't tell you yet...because I'm in a cone of uncertainty.

Just Don't Do It.

For the love of Pete, don't put a spoiler on a VW beetle, a pick up truck or one of the those new fangled trying-to-be-trendy mini vans.... because you look ridiculous! If you want a sporty looking car....BUY a sporty looking car....you crazy spoiler people are about to join the ranks of PT Cruiser owners and honestly now, you just don't wanna keep company like that!

And another thing....

don't ride around with so much crap in the back window of your car that you can't see me waving my arms and making angry faces at you. Also, it's not safe for things like, oh I don't know, reversing?

Besides the beanie baby phenomenon is finally over, leave your stuffed animals at home. If you need that much companionship in order to venture out you should probably just stay in.
