>>> "I'm Tropics Guy and I approve this message"

TG: ROFLMAO!

Actually, I think there's some new law REQUIRING candidates to put that little codacil at the beginning of every message. BTW, I work for a State Senator, so I'm a tad in tune to this stuff.

Yeah, the African wave is lookin' pretty good (thanks for the link). For this time of night, to put up a convective burst like that seen in the last frame is pretty impressive. I think this impulse is the same one (or close to it) that the models are developing for late next week. Someone with more knowledge of this sort of thing than moi, please confirm or deny that statement.

OK, I'm LI Phil, and I approve of this message.
