I like the concept of the "Cone of Uncertainty."

It's also known as the cone of "we don't really have a %$%$%$%$ing clue even with the gazillion dollars worth of instruments we have"

All last week it was gale force winds on the Cape as Bill passed out to sea--and the freaking leaves on my trees weren't even rustling when it did pass.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

Hmmm...the CraftyCast on this one has been updated as of 1 AM EST...

Current indications are that Danny will develop into a Two Bottle Gale by Saturday afternoon across most of Southeastern New England.

Hurricane Expert Mike P is predicting landfall in the Cape Cod area, hitting the Sagamore Bridge dead on the nuts late Saturday afternoon...however, the Cone of Uncertainty includes a broad area from Joe Lyons house to the west over to Karl F's counter at the liquor store to the east, where pre-storm predictions call for a customer surge 4 to 6 feet deep...

Hey, I'm ready for it...got a new roof put on the house 2 weeks ago, a basement full of hootch, 2 spare D batteries and a can of Sterno...so I'm still all set from the hurricane preparedness drill for Hurricane Bill...

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

the "cone of uncertainty" prevails most deeply in the store, especially in the wine dept. ....
"which one should I choose?"...
i think that is the "cone's" residence..

party on... Hurricane Party, that is...

A little easting in Danny this AM.
Good for us. Bad for Nova Scotia.


I suggest a 2000 Apollonio Copertino Divoto Riserva. A+ red

One of the local weathermissers was stating he thought it would shift a little west. Good to see the track indicating more easterly.
