The state of Florida received some magic this morning when it Hurricane Fay was downgraded to a tropical storm, meaning that rain will still flood many towns, but the wind will not be devastating. As I write this post, the storm is actually just south of Orlando, where Jameer Nelson plays his professional ball. Lucky […]
