Hurricane Earl is churning up the Atlantic. Current projections say it will be within 150-miles of where I live by Friday of Labor Day Weekend. So, I’m implementing my patented hurricane survival strategy: I’ll watch the Weather Channel, find out where Jim Cantore is, and if he shows up anywhere near me, I’ll go somewhere else.

I’m not big on August because football starts up, buying good fresh peaches becomes a chancy thing and cold weather is nigh. But it is over 90 again, I can still nap in my hammock, I believe I’m going to be a guest lecturer in college once school us under way, and there are fresh tomatoes in my back yard.

I saw a TV commercial for ITT Tech, a private, for-profit college. In the commercial, the guy who is telling what’s supposed to be his story and his family (they may be actors for all I know) were hand-washing a late model Ford Edge. The Ford blue oval on the car was blurred out. Once I noticed that, I didn’t pay any attention to another thing the commercial said. I spent my time wondering why the commercial’s producers would do that.

Based on the theory that where there’s smoke, there’s cannabis, it may be inevitable that one day one of the drug-filled purses that seem to surround Paris Hilton may actually belong to her.
