Oh no! Ernesto has finally reached New York! It's the end of the world, run for the hills, take shelter!

 

OK, so maybe not really.  But if you'd been listening to the news for the past, what is it now, probably almost two weeks, then you'd think that Ernesto was some kind of super storm that was going to destroy us all.  I mean the amount of news coverage that this tiny, little, huricane-for-a-minute storm has received is unbelievable.  Never underestimate the power of the news media to turn a non-event into a major news story.  

 

As far as Ernesto in New York goes, all it's done is cancel a few matches of the US Open and turn Labor Day weekend into a rainy mess.  Oh, and it gives Andre Agassi an extra day of rest before his next match.  Anyone catch his match on Thursday night?  Wow what a match!  OK, now I'm just wandering all over.  I just had to rant a little after not being able to escape Ernesto coverage anywhere.
