Ike

As I had feared, Hurricane Ike spoiled any flying for today. The combination of gusty winds, low clouds and scattered showers was too much. My CFI called and asked me to reschedule, which I have done for next Tuesday. The good news is that Ike is not coming here. He's headed to Texas and our thoughts and prayers will be with those in his path and those he has already effected. September 10th is the statistical peak of the Atlantic hurricane season, so the tropical activity should be slowing down in the next few weeks. Also, fall is my favorite time of year in Florida. The weather is generally good and should start cooling a bit in two or three weeks.
