Well, I FINALLY have my honeymoon pictures processed and ready to be uploaded. Now, I still need to work on honeymoon pictures that Kim took, but that shouldn't take as long. After the honeymoon pictures are up, it's time to work on wedding photos.

Random tidbit: Ernesto fooled everyone.

Interesting tidbit: For whatever reason, someone opted to stay on Wake Island to take observations during a very close call with Ioke. For those who haven't followed Ioke, it has fluctuated between a Cat 4 and Cat 5 for nearly the past week. It crossed the International Dateline a couple of days ago, so it's actually a typhoon (or super typhoon) now. At any rate, Wake Island looked as though it would experience a direct hit from the eye, but it now appears as though it'll just get a glancing blow. Fortunately, someone was crazy enough to stay behind on the very tiny island to take observations. If you follow THIS LINK, you can view the observations, which are being made every 6 minutes! To view the 6-min obs in text format, go to the bottom of that page and click on the "View Data" button. While this is quite fascinating, I'm legitimately concerned for the person providing these data. I should note that the "person stayed behind" is 2nd-hand information (from someone who heard it on the news), so I cannot say with certainty that this is correct (not to imply that I would be able to say with certainty had I heard it on the news myself).
