Have you ever seen (or maybe had it happen to you at some point) what happens when someone's body is moving faster than their legs and feet can keep up with? It's happened to me a couple times when I was a kid, usually when I was running down a hill, or hopped off a bicycle that was moving faster than I thought it was. Kind of like how a wave crests and breaks, when the top half of your body is moving faster than your bottom, you tend to fall over onto yourself. It's pretty dang funny when it's not you. I think I've seen this in various “America's Funniest Home Videos” clips and various viral videos that have been emailed around in the past.

OK, I'm getting off topic, but now that I've stopped giggling about it, I'll get down to what I was alluding to in the previous paragraph: Tropical Storm Emily. She's been moving west at close to 20mph, which is pretty fast for a storm. The good part is that fast storms dont strengthen like slower ones do. I guess it's harder to scoop up warm air and water the faster you're going. Emily hasn't strengthened like the forecasters thought she would, and the effect of that is that the Hurricane Warnings for the windward islands have been downgraded to Tropical Storm warnings.

She's still forecast to become a hurricane, but not until after she gets into the warm Caribbean and away from any landmasses and/or mountains. May or may not be good for us, it's still too early to tell. The five-day forecast track is still set to pass to the south of us and make a beeline for Mexico, passing south of Cozumel as well. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens in the next day or two, and then Friday weigh the reports and forecasts and see what's gonna happen this weekend.

The Taste of Cayman has been postponed (again) this time indefinately due to Emily, but they're going to do the drawing for the prizes next Wednesday anyway.
