Here’s a lot more. Can we officially replace Iraq with Syria as the newest member of the Axis of Evil now? Though hopefully one that may be treading a little more carefully, now that it knows (once again) that its air defenses are worthless.
And speaking of the old A of E, Iran’s war against us doesn’t seem to be going very well. Unfortunately, this doesn’t get covered much, either in the media, or in Congressional hearings.

Posting from LA. I got off the plane to a beautiful South Bay day yesterday–clear skies, low humidity, mid seventies. And you could see mountains. What a contrast with Florida.
Anyway, driving up the 405 today from Long Beach to Torrance, I was behind a tow truck that had a banner on the back: “AAA Batteries Delivered And Installed.” Unfortunately, the little Canon I carry was in my briefcase in the trunk.
Anyway, considering that I was in Fry’s yesterday, where I could buy twenty four of the little suckers for seven bucks, and most of the plastic covers are pretty easy to get off, I think that the lack of handiness of the American male has gone too far.

Looks like we’ll dodge Ingrid, which is falling apart under shear. But this little aside from a much longer tropical blog post by Jeff Masters is a little worrying:
The GFS, ECMWF, and UKMET models all suggest a tropical depression may form in the Western Caribbean on Wednesday and move northwards into the Gulf of Mexico or over Florida.
I’m going to LA tomorrow, and not coming back until early next Saturday morning. I’d like to know a little more. How long will it take to move north, and how much (if any) will it intensify? Do the models have an opinion about that?
We could use a tropical depression here, and even a tropical storm, to help refill up the lake, which is still four feet less than normal (due to draining it last year as a precaution against a hurricane season that didn’t happen), as we head toward the dry season. But I can do without a major hurricane, particularly if I’m not here to shutter the house.
I wouldn’t be shocked if that were the case. We see enough examples of it (global warming being one notable area) to think that it could be just the tip of the iceberg. Getting it right is hard work, and there are a lot of researchers out there who are desperately working on degrees, or under the pressure to publish or perish, even if the research turns out to be perishable.
Well, not exactly. Maybe we should just call this guy Damascus Dave:
Nothing in Syria was bombed by the IAF, and nothing was damaged – this according to Syrian Ambassador to the United Nations Bashar Ja’afari.
Reports of such an attack are “ridiculous and not true,” Army Radio reported Ja’afari as saying on Saturday. Ja’afari added that “Syria does not have North Korean nuclear facilities.”
No, of course not. And the Israelis will be swimming in oceans of their own blood, too.
