Perspectives of a Canadian in the Old/Deep/New/Geographic South: This is where I ramble on about nothing in particular and post a few nice pictures.
Well, yesterday was a bit of a wash thanks to rain from Barry. At least the lawn got some much needed rain. Got pretty breezy last night too.
Judging from the latest radar images, it looks like the remnant of Barry is passing by now so there could be more rain in store for later today.
Installed Fedora 7 on the two computers sitting on my desk at work today.
I haven’t had a chance to play with it much yet, but I like the new installation process using the Fedora Live CD. Only one CD image to download and burn as opposed to the 5 for FC 4-6. Of course that means you can’t install all the packages you want initially, but they’re easy enough to afterwards. The install goes much faster though. There’s always the DVD image you can use too, which I’m sure is much more complete.
Unfortunately, I won’t get to play with it a whole lot until after next week.
Wow, this year’s storm season has only just started today and it’s already up to two named systems with Barry being announced by the NHC at 5 PM today.
From the 5 PM discussion:
DEEP CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED NEAR THE CENTER DURING THE PAST HOUR AND THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE LOCATED NEAR THE CENTER…SUPPORTING A TROPICAL CLASSIFICATION. BARRY COULD RETAIN SOME NON-TROPICAL CHARACTERISTICS. THE CYCLONE IS EMBEDDED WITHIN A STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY SHEAR AND IS HEADING TOWARD COOLER WATERS. THEREFORE…NO SIGNIFICANT STRENGTHENING IS INDICATED BEFORE IT REACHES THE COAST. BARRY SHOULD BECOME EXTRATROPICAL BETWEEN 24 AND 36 HOURS.
Are you ready?
Is it weird to get a pizza just so you can have cold pizza for breakfast the next morning?
The way these dogs are shedding these days, I’m surprised I don’t have two bald labs yet. After a few days the carpet starts looking blacker than the dogs do!
A full vacuuming of the house means emptying the Dyson at least 3 times.
I know Labs shed a lot. It’s what they do. Eat, sleep, shed. This is getting a little silly though.
