    Damn. I need a vacation. Oh, right. I've got one coming up. Except I might not be able to go because of the storms. Shit...

    I'll get the document scanned, don't worry.

    Obviously, since you put life before lasers, your priorities need some attitude adjusting...

    Not the ILDA laser geek cruise!

    That's just WRONG !!

    Frickin' weather........you may just have to fire up the lasers at home and mix some hearty batches of "hurricanes" to simulate cruise conditions. In fact, why don't we just load up the party gear and come over for SELEM 2.1 at your house - sounds like you could use a festive diversion. We'll order pizza - that seemed to work last time !

    Is the cruise going to get cancelled? If not, I'd go for it! Adventure!

    Cool

    Well, I just got an E-mail from Patrick Murphy (President of ILDA) and he says that right now the ILDA cruise is a go. Carnival is saying that they don't anticipate any problems. Worst case, they may reverse the order of the ports that we visit, or maybe leave a day later. (If they leave later, we get a partial refund...)

    Actually, I'm more worried about Hanna right now. She's predicted to hit South Carolina, and it looks like Charleston is damn close to the centerline track. Fuck... Gotta get my generator fixed!

    That can sometimes happen if you're using a printer with a PCL driver, try using a PS (Postcript) driver if you have one available.
