Re: Apology Thread Registry
Hey, now.
And I see PLENTY of postings at present, from people there in Hawai`i on all kinds of topics other than the hurricane. Personally, I was annoyed at the Weather Channel last night, as they mentioned Flossie as their top story in the billboard, but didn't cover it until ten after the hour. (Of course, one could also point out that the 100-plus-degrees-for-several-days heatwave in the Southeast does affect a few hundred thousand more people than Flossie, thus justifying its place higher up in the broadcast.)
And, if you please, the correct phrase is "couldn't care less." Think about it ... "could care less" means that you have room to find even less interest in a topic. Like Barbie recalls. Or vanity plates. Or Mainland bashing. (But that's a peeve - not an apology.)
Now, back to our regularly-scheduled hatch battening. And let's keep hoping that all the precautions end up being unnecessary, due to a nice southward turn, combined with a lessening of intensity. Then you can all consider it good practice, and no one gets hurt.
