Didn't know you had roof damage?
My cell is 305-562-7704 in case we get another hit.
Although I am not taking it terrifically seriesly!
It's only missing a bit of shingles.
Nothing was strippped down to plywood though, so I'm OK.
My avocado tree isn't coming back though. We had it cut down to a 4-foot stump and righted it, securing it with 2x4s to keep it upright.
The coconut tree won't ever die, as much as we've wanted it to fall with every storm.
I'm gonna watch some TV and go to bed, folks.
Nighty night!
I wonder where #18 is gonna go.
Night, Ruthy!
Statement as of 10:41 PM EDT on September 17, 2005
... Interests in South Florida should closely monitor Tropical Depression Eighteen...
The surface low pressure system located east-northeast of the Turks and Caicos
Islands has become better organized tonight and is now tropical depression
18. The system is moving west northwest around 10 mph. This system is
forecast to move across the Florida Straits from late Monday
through Tuesday. Its effects across South Florida are yet
uncertain but residents across South Florida are advised to
monitor statements issued by the National Hurricane Center and the
National Weather Service office in Miami in case watches or
warnings become necessary later on Sunday. This system is forecast
to reach hurricane intensity as it moves across The Straits.

Goody. That one sounds like it could get nasty.
It's probably going to get into the Gulf, God forbid, after popping So FL .
I'm typing dialup on my daughter's old Ibook and can't figure out how to post the tracking maps on this thing,. It's probably just as well.
Uh oh, we know who the cousin and his soon to be wife will be calling for baby-sitting in the future!
Dang! If this keeps up and they make it to 'R', I'll have a hurricane named after ME. Never thought I'd see the day!
Pretty sure they're making it to R. Your name starts with an R!!??
Anyhow if it takes after you, it could be fierce!
If 18 becomes a named storm - and it almost certainly will - it's got your name on it. ;-)
They skip the Q.
I wonder if they'll actually run out of names this year. Eek.
They'll have to start over with "Aaron."
My first name is Rita, though that is not the one I use.
I'm ba-aack!
Safe, sound, and spent a little less than I had budgeted. Yay! So much fun in so few hours!
I knew some time ago that I had been bumped to near the top of the short-term list, right after the neighbors who can take a couple hours, and to the top of the long-term list (up to 48 hours on weekends).
Just settle down and try not to break anything :~D
~sip~
Morning!
~sip~
It's raining here.....hope the danged squirrels are getting wet.
My dangifier has malfunctioned and now only darns.
So I put it in the sock drawer.
Morning.... fog has given way to clear skies for today, and my squirrels are having some breakfast seeds and peanuts I put out there for them :~D
I think we are taking Jesse through the corn maze today :~D
