Sep. 6th, 2008 12:16 pmToday in 1951, during a drinking party in Mexico City, author William S. Burroughs told his wife Joan to balance a glass of gin on her head. He took aim with his new .38 pistol, and unintentionally blew her brains out in front of their friends. Oopsie. This sort of party game is more common here in the South - I can't help wondering if he said, "Hey, y'all, watch 'is!" before he pulled the trigger.
Well, as I should have guessed once I saw that Jim Cantore was in Atlantic Beach, NC, Hanna took a hard right and went north for her landfall. My sister in the Lowcountry had a night of hard rain, but we had only breezes and sprinkles. Looks like Ike is headed into the Gulf (not good) but Josephine has weakened into a depression (good if it stays that way.) Today is utterly gorgeous outside, so
philipmcavery has gone paddling with
faithhunter and her husband. Humidity is low, the sun is bright and the wind is constant and soft, which makes it all feel like fall.
I think I might open all the windows today.
