Looks like this could follow the same path as Charley once it hits Florida. Land around Ft. Meyers, head up just east of Orlando and hit the ocean around Palm Coast or St. Augustine.

Guessing Napels-Ft. Meyers are getting hammered too.

>plowing up the center of Florida

That bright green line is problematic.

Other than that if it goes all the way up through Florida like this I would assume the storm would lose some of its steam by the time it got up to us. Probably still a lot of rain but the wind wouldn't necessarily be as destructive. Am i just fooling myself?

>I think this is just too far out to bank on, but I'm logging it here to see how it will compare to the actual track

Yeah, that is what it seems like will happen. Kind of just depends on how far west it goes before turning North.

Yeah, I am going to start the early preparations. Not liking the way this is tracking.

What are you thinking about this one RC? Some models have it hitting here in FL, some have it moving farther north, and some have it just staying out to sea.

>Don't go to LA

My brother in law and his family are in Montrose and the La Tuna Canyon fire is getting a bit too close for comfort.

That really isn't too bad. Luckily his most important equipment (his bbq pits) are probably just fine. Nothing flammable on those.

A friend in Idaho said houses in the path of the eclipse were going for up to $10k a night.

When I went to Zambia a few years back there was an eclipse and my plane was full of Euros going to Zimbabwe to see it. It is crazy how much people will spend on eclipses.

Yeah, you guys would be shocked at what little $2 million will buy you on the West side of the Bay Area, probably the equivalent of a $60k home in Cleveland.

When they moved our paid search team from Jacksonville to SF 4 of the guys who all lived on their own here had to move in together in a 2 bedroom to afford a place to live.

If you add the caveat of living in a decent neighborhood I would guess many of those prices would double.

I would love to know if some of the on-table tablet based payment systems are actually costing servers money. They usually have an option to top 15%, 18%, or 20%. I know I have seen these at places like Red Robin and Chilis and different food trucks.

First off, that makes it easy to tip bad, adequate, or good service different amounts easily. When it is push button easy I would think more people would be inclined to tip less.

Second, most of the time I would probably be tipping more than 20% (do the math, round up is usually what I do) but since the button to tip without doing math is there I will always do that rather than entering a specific amount.

>>Publix is delivering in Charleston, SC

Shipt does Publix deliveries here. They will do Costco as well. I believe you pay about a 5% premium on the price of the groceries to get them delivered and there is a monthly fee.

It wouldn't shock me at all if more and more grocery stores start offering some sort of delivery service. If they were smart they would do something similar to Amazon's Subscribe and Save where you sign up and have an automatic monthly delivery that you receive with the option to add on other items as needed. So every month you will get your pasta, canned fruit, taco shells, boxes of cereal, etc. automatically delivered on the 1st of the month.

To take it a step further they could do some sort of grocery/pre-prepared meal hybrid. So similar to Blue Apron they bring groceries along with some meal kits.

>>>>Equal parts cinnamon, black pepper, ground thyme, onion powder, & powdered orange peel.

I have a friend who is trying to sell his rub and said there is a secret ingredient in there. I took one taste and knew it was cinnamon. He was shocked I picked it out so quickly. But the rub worked very well on the ribs I used it on. The cinnamon definitely doesn't overpower anything. And adding in the citrus peel seems like it would be great. I would almost think that rub would be great on shrimp.
