It's Really Thursday

Katrina has been upgraded to a hurricane. My favorite site for tracking these tropical storms is www.weatherunderground.com. You can look at satellite pictures and models predicting the path of the storm. Any hurricane that heads into the Gulf of Mexico makes oil producers nervous. As if gas prices aren't high enough, now the weather may result in even higher prices. Markets were ho-hum today, gaining slightly. Dow +15.76 NASDAQ +5.46 S&P 500 +2.78
