Yesterday I overslept.  Then I decided to watch Obama\u2019s news conference.  Then I decided to put off my trip to Social Security until today, if not Tuesday.  Then I replied to all outstanding comments and returned visits.  It took over five hours, but I am glad to be caught up again.  Today well depend on whether or not I go to Social Security.<\/font><\/p>\n

Today it took me 4:42.  To do it, click here<\/a>.  How did you do?<\/font><\/p>\n

From NY Times<\/a>: <\/font>The Atlantic hurricane season is likely to be a busy one that may spawn as many as 23 named tropical storms, including up to seven major hurricanes, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Thursday. It predicted that 8 to 14 storms would strengthen into hurricanes, with winds of 74 m.p.h. or higher. Three to seven of those could reach Category 3 status or higher \u2014 meaning they bring sustained winds of at least 111 m.p.h.<\/p>\n

If a big one hits the Gulf it will make sure the oil from the GOP Gulf Gusher will never be cleaned up.<\/font><\/p>\n

From Think Progress<\/a>: <\/font>Census Director Robert Groves said the bureau\u2019s temporary workers knocking on doors to collect information have faced 29 threats involving a gun, four robberies and three instances of being held against their will or carjacked.<\/p>\n

The incident of GOP inspired violence I reported yesterday was not an isolated case.<\/font><\/p>\n
