Embarrassingly, whenever we told folks we were from Florida (while on the trip) they would get this 'smirk' and mumble something about 'elections'....

If you look at the path the storm took, it went right over everyone in my family! None of us has damage, no one hurt, and my grandson has recovered from being scared. As I told his father yesterday, at least he didn't get so scared he threw up, which some of the children in the gradeschool just north of us did!

And rightfully so, since a section of the school roof is open to the air, although not a classroom or hall!

I am interested in the Irish Travelers, illstillbe. A couple of years ago there were som people here who were convinced that X42 was a member of the group, which would account for a lot of things, I think.

We most normally encounter gypsies here, although thee have been reports of the Travelers, usually in driveway repaving scams on the elderly.
