Hey y'all (I prolly missed some folks).
Charley has just been upgraded to a Category 4. That's hughly series. I think most of our HH FReepers are out of the direct path.
But for comparison sake, Isabel was down to Category 2 when she hit land.
Keep the folks (all of 'em) in the Tampa Bay area in your prayers.
Very nice-looking fan mount.
Sounds like a pretty neat job opportunity if you like that kind of work, especially if it can be used to generate contacts for computer-related jobs, too.
That's what my Dad always says about the spices I like! I guess it's an acquired taste you have to build up to :)
JenB and Rosie: Who's Benny Hill?
Going home here folks. If the phone lines hold out, I'll be back in later, but the storm may come in just south of Tampa and if it cuts straight across, we Southeast Florida folks will be facing some nasty storms with tornadoes later this afternoon.
Keep everyone in the path in your prayers. This could be Andrew II!! Especially if it hits the Port Charlotte area which has little to no hurricane building codes in place.
My friend Patty (the one in the wheelchair) lives there and she's at her parents' house. She's in tears because she realizes now that her trailer doesn't stand a chance and she will lose everything. She's on disability, so everything she owns is precious to her. Prayers again please!
Love ya! Bye!
Having made England's doughty King Arthur (aka Arthur Penn) mayor of contemporary New York in last year's Knight Life, David now has his charismatic hero attempt to carve the White House into a new Camelot. At first Arthur's problems seem mere irritations, though reincarnated wife Gwen is now itching to do "something meaningful," like health care reform. Then Arthur's world suddenly shatters. With his grouchy wizard Merlin frozen into a presidential Rose Garden ornament and Gwen slammed into a deadly coma by Arthur's mortal enemy, the Mideast terrorist Sandoval, Arthur resigns the presidency and embarks on a perilous quest to release Merlin and heal Gwen with a swig from the Holy Grail.
You're all in my prayers down there! Stay safe!
Stay safe Ruthy. If your phones go out, call my cell just to let us know.
Okay, that reads like a stoopid statement. But you know what I mean...
My grandparents just moved to that area... hope they evacuated... this is their first hurricane.
Where are they?
Yeah, that's the sequel to "Knight Life". It's a good in-bookstore read.
Darn, the B&N had a Real Author signing on Tuesday! And it's even a guy whose books I've read... left 'em at home because they were sort of Dad's too, though... Kevin Anderson, he's helping write the Dune prequels.
Just north of Tampa, I think. About ten minutes' drive from the coast. I don't want them to get hurt but we're still angry with them for just up and moving... I mean, the whole reason my family moved to PA and not Colorado in the first place was so that we wouldn't be too far from these grandparents, and then they move to Florida where they haven't got any family or anything so my grandfather can go fishing.
Well, that doesn't mean they deserve to get their house destroyed, though, so prayers are appreciated.
Will pray. Right now it looks like it will actually run south of them.
That would be good. I don't even know if they got evacuated or not. Kinda out of touch here...
Hey guys,
Just checking in before I shut the computer down for a while. We are heading to the in-law's house (1.2 mile away) for a bit.
Charley has changed track a bit and he should pass about 20 or so miles north of us. At least being on this side of the state means that he will have weakened by the time he gets here.
I wouldn't mind some prayers especially for my Josh who is taking all this stuff VEY SERIESLY. So pleace pray that he has peace in the fact that we know God can watch out for us even in the middle of a pretty strong hurricane.
Well, it's starting to rain here and the wind is kicking up just a bit, but the major part of our fun should be well into the night.
I'll check back in later.
Stay safe friend.
Didja duck yet?
