Gustav

We dodged the bullet for Gustav. He went parallel to the coast and missed N.O. for a direct hit. They did get their share of rain & wind to be sure & the city was evacuated. The brunt of the damage was along the coast just west of N.O. in Cajun country. Lotta trees down, power outages. The levees in N.O. held (until the next one). B'ham only got a little wind and a lot of evacuees from N.O. 

Aaron's cruising in S.D. enjoying the sun & surf, the hash runs, friends...basically having a grand time. He was on field trials last week and re-qualified as an EXPERT in rifleman with a score of 221! I am trying out Google's new browser, "Chrome". So far so good, it's super fast but doesn't support the Google Toolbar...yet. It's still in beta and is a work in progress.
