Sorry for the silence. Many hours of hard chasing. Many hours of picking a location & then immediately changing my mind. Many hours of neurotic driving up & down the west coast of #Jamaica in the darkness, in the rain, hating the whole mission.
But I finally settled on a spot, near where I think #Hurricane #MELISSA's center may cross the coast. The quest for my meteorolgical golden fleece (quality data from MELISSA's eye) brought me to this corner of the earth—this ornate old guest house, on a desolate stretch of highway, on a hill, with cows grazing next to it.
The owner spoke only Patois, but we managed to agree on a price and I paid cash. The room is very simple, very basic— but very clean, and with thick concrete walls. And I'm in heaven—like I couldn't have found a more lovely hotel room anywhere on the planet—because it is perfect for the mission.
The instruments are all deployed. Outside the wind starts to howl in the darkness. And I sit quietly and wait.

@ryanhallyall@OfficialYallbot Definitely would feel off about it. You've gotten to where you are at now with doing things the same way since I've known you these past 5 years.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
2K for @Saquon!
Barkley is the first player in @NFL history to rush for 2K yards in his first season with a team AND the first @Eagles player to hit 2K yards AND the second-oldest player to do it (behind @BarrySanders)!
