At some point everything will be on the Internet. For instance, this afternoon my friend Bob sent me an IM:
Bob: you have email. may make you laugh–(not my upload)

This NEVER bodes well!

The photo below is from September 26, 1985. I remember the suit. It was silk. I loved that suit.

There is one part of that photo I forgot. The prediction was for tropical storm, not hurricane strength, winds&#185. Somehow in the fog of time I thought I’d called for minimal hurricane force. Gloria was absolutely a tropical storm when it hit Connecticut, though it’s probably officially recorded as a hurricane at landfall.

&#185 – We had AccuWeather for a short time very much against my will. Trust me. It was a forecast prepared by me.
