Self-Described "Weather Geek" Heads Hurricane Center.

Yes, it's true. This headline caught my eye on the bottom of the front page of today's Picayune Item ... byline Miami. "When hurricanes and tropical storms threaten the US, a self-described 'weather geek' will let the nation know what the dangers are". So, is this the mystery man sitting next to Buoy Boy at the Wx Geek conference that he so proudly posted a picture of??? Although I know it's not, I'm sure since Buoy Boy is a mover and shaker in the halls of our National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, he is sure to have crossed paths with the new leader of the forecaster's turned lynch mob at the Hurricane Center. I hope since he called himself a "geek" that the boys in Miami don't take him out behind the building and beat the crap put of him, then force him to take leave. "Read said that when he took over that he was a little more laid back than Protozoa ... er, I mean Proenza" (I guess this means he lets the boys go out back and smoke a doobie on thier lunch hour). "His hurricane kit contains Ritz Crackers and peanut butter and his son's cell phone plays "Riders on the Storm" when he calls." OMG. I just hope he has the ya ya's to call a storm a storm, no matter what the politically driven puppet masters, I mean forecasters behind the scenes want him to say.

I guess we need to consider extending Mr. Read an invitation to join our closely knit group of stud, duds, and babes.
