Now I could have said something up there in the title about the weather along with Wednesday -- who doesn't like a little alliteration? -- but aren't we sick of talking about the weather already? No, we are not! We like talking about the weather here. We like talking about talking about the weather. ..
Kittens on the Keyboards wants "the local media" to know "You are directly contributing to hurricane warning fatigue."
Agricola would seem to agree:
Yes, the local media has a duty to keep us informed, but there is no excuse for fear mongering in the name of responsible journalism.
Once Upon a Time: "Frankly though, I expected more." (and other annoyances).
Sure, you might have seen the rain your own fool self but was it narrated for you in a British accent? Get Geoff's video clip now!
Factoid on rain, courtesy of Brian's Blog:
So far we have picked up nearly 3" of rain. This pretty much put us even in our rain totals for the year. In other words, we needed it!
In case lowcountry weather blogging isn't enough for you, you can read how
"Slate colored skies and steel cold rain greeted us as we entered Canadian waters this week"
on the M.V. ILHABELA LOG. Why does weather seem so much more poetic when it involves a boat and foreign coordinates?
In true seque MO, let's talk poetry. Tales from the Microbial Laboratory blogs Donald Hall's appointment as the nation's 14th poet laureate, replacing Ted Kooser. Ted, we hardly knew ye, you say? Get a Ted Kooser poem over at the bellascribe blog.
Poetic contemplation on endings over at Cavaliers and Roundheads.
Endings. So with the close of the festival the Spoletobuzz blog provides an
"entirely subjective look at a few of the things I found most worth remembering about Spoleto festival season 2006".
And GMLc reports on some
We were wondering how long it would take for the 2006 World Cup to produce injury or death. Not among the footballers, but among the fans. First up, two Thai fans watching Italy beat Ghana at a beach bar in Thailand. Another patron thought they were cheering too loudly and shot them, point-blank... dead.
Change of topic, please. The Scratching Post is looking ahead:
No sooner is one film festival wrapped than another one looms on the horizon like a big fat chemical cloud. But, er, a nice chemical. The Charleston Documentary Festival is still accepting entries (up until June 30) and the event will be held on October 6-9.
Be sure to read the whole entry if you've been wanting to see An Inconvenient Truth.
June is a month of comings and goings and the Lowcountry blogs reflect it. Charleston Chronicles returns from a week-long trip back to Nebraska; Millersplace comes back from D.C.; I'm just sayin' is leavin to go see the parents..; and Oldcontroller shares a few visuals of his surroundings.
Seth's suitcase arrives, so does his camera cord for sharing photos, but not before he goes shopping.
Some commentary on yesterday's voting at From the Buckle of the Bible Belt and Colleton Now.

Did you make it to the Charleston Collaborative Computer Club (Fourcs) first meeting? The fact that I'm asking this question reveals that I did not, but am glad to be able to keep up with it -- as can you -- here.

What else? Knitting For My Sanity still hasn't finished the strap to her purse, which she blames on the dogs. Dare we ask how that affects her sanity? I think not. The Bushido Way has ideas about beer. Lowcountrydog announces a day camp. Shadow of Diogenes posts an interesting bit of sex trivia; but is it true? I think Lisa must still be recovering from two birthdays.
To end with, how about a reminder of one of the reasons we live here? Note: Adorable baby in great sun hat on the beach photos alert. On Luke's First Taste Of The Ocean, Gone To Carolina:
I never thought in a million years that the first ocean water my son ever touched would be on the East Coast. While I may be a transplanted West Coast surfer, my son has officially been baptized "East Coast".
