TS Fay Update: 2PM Monday

NOAA did not change the path of the storm since 11AM. They have it hitting Southeast of Ft. Myers at 8AM tomorrow morning and coming even with Tampa around 8PM as a TS again.

Gorgeous has the day off tomorrow, and we are awaiting word from the big bosses driving the expensive cars to hear our fate for Tuesday. Hillsborough county schools have just announced that they will be closed.

TS Fay Update: 11AM Monday

It looks like it’s moving to the East, but anything is fair game at this point. I’ve lived here too long to completely ignore it. I’m not at all concerned about anything blowing our new construction over, but our 3-pane patio windows are another story. Thar’s a bunch of construction debris out there.

Time to e-mail the site manager to make sure they clean up today.

iPhone Readiness Program

I’m gearing up for getting my iPhone 3G this week. iThemes.com is doing an equipment purchase for me so I can check my RSS feeds, Gmail, and the Internet without being tied to my computer. When I’ve got class at night, I don’t get Internet until I arrive on campus and have a mad blitz to answer forum threads and e-mails before the professor walks in.

This way, I can check at our notoriously long traffic lights and while I’m at my favorite eatery, Firehouse Subs, which just gets people asking me what network I’m connected to. I just have to tell people I’m being a dorky student writing my paper offline.

I started downloading free TV episodes and apps on iTunes last night, and then I dropped a whole $.99 for a Koi Pond app that was simply irresistable. I heard from a co-worker that AT&T near her house was sold out, so I’ll be going to the Apple store to get the phone and register it, and then drive back to AT&T near home to get it added to our plan since we are both eligible for the “new phone” discount with 2-year agreement.

Tropical Storm Fay Says, “Hi”

We are looking down the barrel of Fay every other tracking update. She is keeping the meteorologists guessing and they have her path wandering between Ft. Myers/Naples and Tampa/St. Pete. As of 5am, she’s headed for Ft. Myers. Stay tuned for more from “sunny” Florida.
