I Hate Being Sick

Sorry about the lack of posts yesterday and so far today. I got home from work last night and was running a pretty good fever so I didn't even bother to turn the computer on until almost 10 pm last night and even then I only checked to see where the storm was.

The center of circulation for Henri supposedly passed right over us, just to the north of Orlando, but it was really, really lame. A few thunderstorms and that was about it. A direct hit and the wind was no worse that it is in a normal thunderstorm. Only difference was that this one had a name.

It has been so long since central Florida (meaning the inland counties) got hit by a real storm that I'm afraid to think of what the damage might be like when it happens.

Oh well. I can add this to my list of natural calamities I've slept through. When I was a kid, I slept through a tornado touching down 1/10 of a mile away and now I've slept through a named tropical cyclone. I think the only thing I've been awake for was when I got zapped by lightning!

I've got a few things set up to discuss today, but just in case you need a quick fix, I've got a post up over at SportsBlog looking at the situation with Rod Rutherford, the University of Pittsburgh quarterback who was charged with assaulting a girl in a nightclub parking lot.
