HURRICANE SEASON BEGINS TODAY
Active season is expected. I am looking for 14 named storms...5 U.S. Hits
Saturday, June 3, 2006
Nice day outside. Sunny and warm :) just the way I like it! A few storms this evening...some severe as they moved across Southeast Illinois. Hail and some wind. Lightning here in Paducah but no rain as of 10 p.m.
Looks like there was a big terrorist bust up in Toronto. Sounds like they have prevented a major attack. I am glad the police are one step ahead of these guys.
Training in Nashville went well. I am going to have to find some more training before the summer is out!
New Horizons now has its second house! Hopefully we will have our third soon. Now we need to get the contractors working.
I am looking into going back to college and getting my meteorology degree. Still working on that! I have wanted a degree in meteorology since I was 8 years old. Sooooooo this would be a big deal for me.
Leaving for London on Wednesday of this week. I will be gone a couple of weeks. Might slide down to Paris as well. Spain is going to wait until later in the year or next.
Hopefully we can find a place to go scuba diving!

Went to look at our houses in Mayfield today. The one on Indiana Street, which was our first house, is coming along. This house still needs a lot of work. Perhaps another three weeks or so before it is finished.

LEAVING FOR LONDON AND PARIS....
Thursday, June 8, 2006
Arrived safely in London! Bumpy plane ride but otherwise everything went smoothly! Looking forward to seeing the sights of this region.
I noticed the National Hurricane Center is watching a disturbance near the Yucatan. Hopefully this does not strengthen into a tropical depression or storm. That would be the first one of the season.
WOW we were able to see the queen...she passed about six feet in front of us!!!!! We are all a bit shocked! lol :)
We able to see most of the show that was put on for the queen...
Joey and me in front of Buckingham Palace!
Beautiful view from the hotel

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOEY :)
Joey had his birthday yesterday :) Pretty good deal to celebrate your birthday in London!HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOEY!!!!!
We visited Windsor Castle and Stone Henge yesterday. Both were impressive. I was a bit surprised that Stone Henge was not larger. It was pretty cool though. The weather has been amazing. Not too warm or cool. Just right! You can tell that Cheetah was a bit bewildered by the whole "Stone Henge" experience. I am not sure she was impressed. :) lol
Cheetah at Stone Henge - yeah she is really impressed
And finally me in front of Stone Henge
Windsor Castle - the queen often stays here

Everyone is having a great time. The weather could not be better. This is Joeys first time out of the country/on an airplane :) and so on!
Looks stormy back home. Some severe weather during the next 48 hours is possible. I suppose Alberta is bent on forming in the Gulf of Mexico. Appears that the Gulf Coast could see their first tropical storm of the season. Hopefully, if Alberto forms, he will not become too intense.
TROPICAL DEPRESSION 1 FORMS IN THE CARIBBEAN
Tropical Depression 1 - possible track
The first tropical depression of the 2006 Atlantic
hurricane season formed Saturday in the northwestern Caribbean Sea, prompting
tropical storm
warnings for parts of Cuba, forecasters said.
The depression had maximum sustained winds near 35 mph
and could develop into the first named storm of the season later in the day,
according
to the National Hurricane Center.
Tropical storms have top sustained winds of at least 39 mph. The first named storm of the season would be Alberto.
The depression was expected to move through the Yucatan Channel into the southeastern Gulf of Mexico, forecasters said.
At 9 a.m., the depression's center was located about
50 miles south- southwest of Cabo San Antonio on the western tip of Cuba. It was
moving north-northwest about 12 mph.
The Atlantic hurricane season began June 1 and ends Nov. 30.
Saturday Night

Having fun in London. Have not had much time to go through my photos. We went to London Tower today and were able to see the Queens Jewels. Quite beautiful.
We went to Saint Paul's Church last night. It was an amazing structure.Tower bridge in the background
