Invest 91
I’ve been watching Invest 91 that is out in the Gulf north of the Yucatan Strait between Cuba and Mexico.
Conditions are not very good for significant development, but that can change. At the moment it looks like it is heading for Apalachicola on the ‘elbow’.

What A Wonderful Group The White House Is
The BBC reports that the Blind Federation slams Captcha security test
The National Federation for the Blind says its members are unable to sign an e-petition calling for printed material to be more accessible to the visually impaired because of “Captcha” security.
A Captcha is a graphic or sound of a random word or number users must key in to prove they are human.
The petition, on the White House website, has received just 8,200 signatures.
The White House says the site complies with US accessibility standards.
The principal requirement for any ‘accessibility standard’ is that something be accessible. If it isn’t accessible, then the ‘standard’ is worthless. That, of course, ignores the reality that the use of a web site already makes the process inaccessible to millions of Americans who have no access to the Internet.
Instead of getting defensive, why doesn’t someone admit that there apparently is a problem, and do something to fix it. That is probably too much to HOPE for with the current White House.
