That would be pretty wild if that were to happen.

But not unprecedented. Deja vu to Ivan and Jeanne in 2004.

 

But now it is looking like @jollyjones may get a visit from Idalia as a tropical storm late next week.

A little something for her to look forward to since she bugged out before Franklin.

Franklin may reach Iceland as remnants. Hoping JJ is far away from Bermuda and Iceland by then.

I've been to Cedar Key, nice place but it always get hit.

Was looking at property. Glad I didn't buy.

Scotland by Saturday, Wales by Wednesday, Cornwall Thursday, Southampton>disembarkation >London Friday 8th … but … fly home Sunday 10th - fingers crossed, dunno where Idalia will be by then but hopefully long gone. 
And nothing following … please …

 

A propos of nothing, I’ve just had the most enormous meal at Hot Rocks. They’ve increased the menu a bit, for the better. The heaters are great, here I am in Iceland, outdoors of an evening, and too hot!

And, of course, it doesn’t matter how much you’ve eaten, there’s always room for chocolate so I am right now in the Arts Cafe …

Lots of good funnies at the Cooler!!  Keep it coming.  We need it now.  

 

Below from the NY Times is a good map this am showing where the two hurricanes/storms are at right now.  Very challenging for Florida, etc. It's the major news story on cable currently.  Lots of high waters and flooding.  Good luck to those there in these affected locations.   

 

THANKS!    Terry in Ohio

We made it through the storm!  Hoping for the best for those affected in other parts of the south.

Took me a bit of time, but wow.

It's too bad they dropped the 'SAT words' section of that test.  Students need to be taught how to parse new words by breaking them down, as in the post above.

 

Here's another:  interpolate = inter (between or among) and polo (a game played on a horse, with a stick – note that the comma is essential since few horses are able to control a stick...)

Not quite so common nowadays;  my latest bottle of sherry (from a reputable grower) has a screw top!

British sherry isn't really the thing is it 😁

I imagine not, never tried it.  Or Cyprus sherry.

Do you remember Emva cream

[lincslady]

I have heard of it  - I think that was Cyprus?  Heaven knows  where British sherry came from, I don't think we had vineyards in those days. 😉  I think it was called QC or QVC?  Or maybe I am mixing that up with the online shopping channel.  Do you remember Yates' Wine Lodges?  We had a super one in Nottingham, full of old chaps with bulbous noses who drank schooners of 'port', and ladies of the night.  My son managed to get thrown of it one night;  his main claim to fame.

[Mr Luxury]

Bristol was the sherry capital of the UK

Harvey's Bristol Cream

Yes I remember Yates

Good old days 😁
