Delayed, but Kudos to Myself
Last June,near the beginning of the 2006 hurricane season, I wrote an entry for this blog, based on an old National Geographic article I'd seen, predicting that a cycle was ending and that, in spite of the experts' forecasts, there would be significantly fewer hurricanes during the current hurricane season. I wrote:"Although there have been estimates of numerous named storms this season, equal to or even more than last year, I have been saying that there will be fewer. I believe that this cycle topped out last year and will not approach that number again for a number of years."
And I finished it with:
"Anyway, I'm now on record that the cycle is changing. Come December if we've had a much calmer hurricane season than 2005, doubtless I'll mention that fact on the blog. However, if not, I promose to 'fess up to that as well. Unless, of course, I've been washed or blown away."
While I was without a computer for much of November and December and forgot about it after I got a new one, I'll now take that belated bow.

Hi Dad,
I tried to explain to some of my fellow grad students that there was no such thing as global warming, only cycles that last about fifty years. They didn't believe me, of course; they love al Gore.
I bet that the nasty seaweed that's been growing out in the Gulf will stop now too!
Congrats on being so smart!
Love, me
