Morning Puppy Dog. I am trying to get my stuff together..but I seem to be moving backwards.
We have one great day here today, with the sun shining bright on the trees that are left, and the Sox and their win. Wooooooo Hooooo.
Did you hear where Curt Shillings endorsed Pres. Bush on one of the alphabet networks this morning? Another great shot across the bows at Kerry. He's even struggling in his own state, ( I hope, I hope )
Kerry is flooding southern NH with adds right now. All these Mass-+oles will no doubt vote for him, but not us and my immediate neighbors.
I think we'll get out of here the weekend after the election..when I get the car packed. ;)
I can't believe they are still cleaning up down there. I figure we'll see some of it when we get down to that area. I guess CC is ok, other than what will be missing. So sad, it could have been much worse, but I will still miss all the trees that have disappeared from out yard since we left. All the citrus gone, and one palm. I hate the thought of having no citrus in the yard to live on all winter. I will really miss our fresh fruit and juices.
I still have to find out how to hook onto the internet thru my wireless laptop. We are searching for places to stay that have it. I will call my son Gary for info, but I probably won't understand a word he says. :(
As for the cleanup, only by seeing the vast amount of work being done, realizing that it has been going on for weeks, and then seeing how much is left to be done can one who was not there get a sense of how truly devastating Ivan was to the Pensacola area.
Along I-10, virtually every sign is down or missing. Trees are down everywhere one looks, many having been snapped off about half way up their trunks. Dump trucks, cranes, stacks of fresh building materials and the sounds of chainsaws and wood chippers are all about. One bright note is that seeing such activity reminds one of the tremendous ability our great nation has to recover, regenerate and rebuild.
