Election 2000

Somehow the Rita coverage on TV reminds me of election night in 2000. The meteorologist always says that "the eye wobbles too much", so he doesn't quite trust the projected path. In case you're not up to date, the path has moved past Houston and is supposed to miss the part of Houston where Justin and I live almost completely. We might not even get hurricane force winds.

Anyway, I just really hope the meteorologists know what they're doing, that Rita will actually pass Houston on the East. But in the end, all these predictions are so much less than certain: In 2000, Florida was supposed to go to Gore (yeah, I know... it really did), because all these Democratic votes were expected to come in, but they never did (good work, Katherine Harris!).
