Vantage PointStrategic marketing concepts and business observations. Small business start-up experiences. Friday, September 05, 2003Well, the boat has been lifted, lifted, lifted. The plants are tucked away and the patio furniture stowed safely awaiting TS Henri's arrival. The rain started about 30 minutes ago - up until then we only had sprinkles. Henri is sitting 85 miles west of St. Petersburg and moving at approximately 8 miles per hour. They keep saying the storm will move north, northeast but so far it has dead headed due east, straight for us.I tried to get doppler and satellite information from the local TV stations websites. What a poor performance that was. On one station I asked for rainfall prediction and got a scanty page with local tide information. Their other pages loaded in layers and never arrived at a decent viewing point. The other station doesn't have server capacity to manage the traffic evidently. I tried two loads and finally gave up. Such a loss of credibility they just earned. Too bad. Maybe its deliberate? Do they want us to turn off the computer and tune in the TV???? .: posted by Carol Gamel - Carol@GoldenStarFruit.com 10:10 AM| |
