I think it's interesting that most of the Republicans I know in Florida in Milton's direct path are only posting anti-Harris posts on FB at the moment, while the Democrats I know are posting information about the storm.I think it's interesting that most of the Republicans I know in Florida in Milton's direct path are only posting anti-Harris posts on FB at the moment, while the Democrats I know are posting information about the storm.
As someone who lived in the Tampa Bay area and rode out a fair share of hurricanes (and 1996's No Name Storm), this one looks terrifying. And there's no way all the debris made by Helene has been cleared out, which makes the possibility of a 10 feet surge all the more troubling.As someone who lived in the Tampa Bay area and rode out a fair share of hurricanes (and 1996's No Name Storm), this one looks terrifying.

Milton, an extremely dangerous Category 4 hurricane over the Gulf of Mexico, is intensifying at breakneck speed as it churns toward the west coast of Florida.
The storm is expected to produce a devasting surge along Florida’s west coast, which could include the Tampa Bay area. Some decrease in strength is forecast ahead of landfall.

If I'm right, this was the same con Kevin Maguire attended, and I remember seeing him across the room thinking his face looked like one of his drawings.If I'm right, this was the same con Kevin Maguire attended, and I remember seeing him across the room thinking his face looked like one of his drawings.
Going through my old stuff, I found this Marvin drawing by Tom Armstrong from 1991. If I'm not mistaken, this was from a comic book convention in Tampa.Going through my old stuff, I found this Marvin drawing by Tom Armstrong from 1991.

My brother and I have different memories of our grandfather wrestling an animal. I remember it was an alligator. And he remembers it as a giant turtle. Since it was Florida, both versions could be equally true. It was a gator, BTW.My brother and I have different memories of our grandfather wrestling an animal. I remember it was an alligator.

Another thing though that always takes me by surprise is how overwhelmingly nice everyone is when I visit the States. Polish people are great, but they don't hold a candle to how Americans treat each other in public. And it might be performative, I know, but it makes a difference.Another thing though that always takes me by surprise is how overwhelmingly nice everyone is when I visit the States.

I'm rarely in the States, so it's always entertaining to experience my home as a tourist.I'm rarely in the States, so it's always entertaining to experience my home as a tourist.
