More books!

They also sent me a copy of Divine Wind: The History and Science of Hurricanes by Kerry Emanuel, a well-known researcher in MIT's Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences.

It was written pre-Katrina/Rita/Wilma, so Andrew is the most recent major storm discussed.

My favorite carrier UPS rang the doorbell unusually late this evening, leaving a long box from ThinkGeek.

My friend M sent a new floor mat!!
