    Rush Limbaugh said hurricanes were a liberal conspiracy designed to make people believe climate change was real.

    This thing is a beast though. If it were to by pass all the islands and head straight into the gulf with no speed bump and then turn for Louisiana, bye bye New Orleans.

    Could also be bye bye Pineville. Seriously, if it hits Baton Rouge do you think Alexandria would be far enough to be safe. Or would I have to go as far as Natchitoches or even Jackson, MS? As dangerous as it is if it starts to look like it will hit Louisiana I'll need a hotel room in one of those places. I heard a little white ago that Irma is the most powerful ever Atlantic hurricane.

    Believe me if it heads this way I'm outta here. Memphis at least.

    I ain't leaving. Wouldn't have to worry about flooding but, depending on wind strength this far inland, losing a roof maybe.

    I had a lunch buffet at Corky's in Germantown. I can't say it was bad but it wasn't good either.

    I just saw a satellite image of Irma. That's one bad ass looking storm. Somebody's getting ready to get their asses pounded.

    I'm not a big fan. Ribs can be good but that's all that doesn't suck IMO. However they think they invented BBQ. Love Graceland though and Beale street can be fun.
