Author's note: I am still posting to USENET from ja...@cloud3.met.fsu.edu
until I get USENET access from NHC. ja...@cloud3.met.fsu.edu is still valid,
but please try to address any comments or questions to be...@hrd-tardis.nhc.

attending the Hurricane and Tropical Meteorology Conference in San Antonio.
For anyone who is going, I'll see you there!
