I Think They're Just Making This Stuff Up

Tuesday, August 29, 2006

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that the hurricane prediction "experts" don't have a clue?

Ernesto, which just over the weekend was widely predicted to roll right over New Orleans is now, on Monday, predicted to be headed for Florida. Last night it was going into the Gulf of Mexico and would hit somewhere around Tampa. Now the tracks have it going over Miami and Ft. Lauderdale. We're so far out of the "cone of probability" shown just two days ago it isn't funny.

Guess where we are this week?

Bump and update - Watching CNN (reliable as there is no dictator to buy off to get the story) this morning from about 50 miles in front of the storm and they're offering 4 options: storm dies down, storm becomes a hurricane again, storm goes up Atlantic Coast, storm goes up Gulf Coast. Wow, I didn't got to meterology school and I could have come up with that.

Find The Boots

An executive goes on a business trip. When he arrives, it's raining cats and dogs. To avoid ruining his shoes, he purchases a pair of galoshes for $15, which he expenses under "Misc." on his expense report. A week later, the accounting department rejects his expense report, with a post-it note that says that the company does not reimburse for items of clothing. The next trip, the executive turns in an expense report without the galoshes, but with a post-it note that says "FIND THE BOOTS!".
