The Tropics are Smoldering!

Wow... I can't believe it's been almost three weeks since my last post. With the tropics delivering chaos non stop with Fay, Gustav, Hannah and now Ike there hasn't been much time to feel creative. We've been fortunate here where Fay was the major disturbance with wind gusts ranging from 40 mph to 65 mph. Very small damages occured though with one less dead tree in my back yard and a little dent in the wired fence. But much has happened in the world since, so lets get back on track. Hopefully we've seen the worst the hurricane season has to offer this year and people can relax and get back to some kind of normalcy. Residents of the Gulf, my thoughts are with you. One day at the time...
