Tropical Depression One-E forms ahead of the official start of hurricane season.
Not that it will be a problem but starting this early is unusual.

Jesus told me yesterday sea surface temps off Michoacan are at least five degrees F cooler than normal. Fishery is disrupted. The gulf of Tehuantepec
is isolated from major sea currents. Any low pressure disturbance that heads northbound at this stage is committing suicide.

I guess you are only one away from the top forecaster if Jesus told you so. Number 2 is probably pretty reliable. woody with a view - 5-14-2012 at 02:01 PM
Jesus never spoke to me during 6 years of catholic school so i put little weight to what he might tell someone else. if he REALLY wanted me know why
not just tell me?woody with a view - 5-15-2012 at 06:20 AM
From now on I promise to not be lazy and shall henceforth put the Jesús ú accent within the name. He is, though, mi compádre. Now a person can really
start to have fun with that one...Bajatripper - 5-15-2012 at 03:21 PM

He doesn't go by "Chuy," like just about every other Jesus I know?
FYI: Compadre has no accent. A couple of the basic rules of placing accents in Spanish are: if a word ends in a vowel or "n" or "s," and the natural
inflection (emphasis) is on the penultimate (next-to-the-last) syllable, the word has no accent. Words that end in the rest of the letters of the
alphabet have the natural inflection on the last syllable.
Variations from this have an accent on the syllable that is most stressed (emphasized).
Examples: énfasis ends in a "s" but has the inflection placed on the first of three syllables, so that "e" gets an accent since it isn't the
penultimate (in this case, middle) syllable. Mazatlán ends in a "n" but has the inflection on the last syllable so that syllable, too, has an accent.
Cónsul, on the other hand, ends in an "l," falling under the rule of "the rest of the letters of the alphabet," which would mean that the natural
(unaccented) pronunciation would place the emphasis on the last syllable. But since the emphasis is on the first, then it has to have an accent, too,
to be correct.
There are rules for other combinations of letters, but these two basic rules should get you by in about 95% of the words you'll come across needing
accents.
