There Has Not Been A Tropical Update Because...

The tropics are quiet. I shall only post about the tropics when there's something to post about.

Britney Spears Is Earth-Conscious...NOT!

Sorry to use a term that went out of style around the same time Vanilla Ice went out of style, but for lack of a better term, that's how it us.

For those of you who haven't been following, BritBrit has lost a decent enough amount of the crazy in recent month to be allowed to occasionally breathe the same air as her two boys Sean and Jayden. Yesterday was their third and second birthdays, respectively, and Britney threw a nice party for the kids. She's being a mommy again. Cool.

Now, this is 2008. Gas prices are astoundingly high, and global warming is a stark reality, but the blissfully ignorant Britney threw a car-themed party. The presents for Sean and Jayden? Two miniature SUVs, that's what. That's it. Teach your kids to waste the Earth more than it's already been wasted.

Just because Sarah Palin says global warming and the oil crisis are bullshit, doesn't mean it's true?

Sept. 13 Tropics Report

Ike at 3PM CDT, 9/13/08

Tropical Storm Ike (Yes, it's been downgraded!!!) is now moving to the east of Dallas with top winds of 60mph. It made landfall at 2AM local time, right over Galveston. So far, there are four deaths related to the storm, which is miraculous considering how many people remained in their homes. There does seem to be widespread, but not catastrophic damage.

Downtown Houston got the broken glass they expected. In the JP Morgan Chase building, the windows blew out, and office furniture was blown over to the parking structure across the street.

As Ike dissipates, it will merge with a frontal system and bring plenty of rain to the already-drenched Midwest.

Otherwise, the tropics are quiet, especially for this time of year.
