Hi kay...

Up late, can't sleep, probably because I had a late nap. Been taking things so easy this past week or so but feel the need to start to do things, especially in the yard.

The debris from the hurricane is gone for the most part but still have a utility trailer full that has to be taken to the dump. My neighbor, who is also my pastor, has his debris piled along the side of the road... a pile about 60' long and 5' high. As one could guess it is also about 6' wide. Sometime, hopefully soon, the people with pick-up contracts will come along.

Several years ago when eastern NC got hit 5 times in 3 years, it was months and months before all the debris was picked up from the side of the road. I know that I went to get m-i-l the Christmas after Fran hit (August or early September) and got behind a truck picking up hurricane trash.

And, although we weren't in this area at the time, Hugo just devastated the Charlotte metro area. From time to time I still hear references to huge piles of decaying debris that were dumped out in the country. A couple of years ago I think there was actually a fire that started in one of the piles (think several football fields long and wide and 20' high) from spontaneous combustion ... and that storm hit in the late 80's IIRC.

Patience will be the keyword for Floridians for a long time to come.
