...but Colleen, we *both* know that isn't going to happen....We'll know when the wind starts blowing and not before. The rest is speculation and guesswork, albeit maybe educated guesses, but guesses all the same. Models are toys we play with that with luck, will resemble the real thing, but like a toy airplane, it is still a toy and won't carry passengers, even hamsters

You are right when you say we souldn't quibble over fractions of an inch on some tracking/forecast chart, especially this far away from possible landfall. Charley, among others, taught us, or should have, that lesson.

Keep your questions, comments and opinions coming...I, for one, enjoy them.
