The fortunes of life so seem to favor those who are prepared, do they not.
The sure do. All we lost in Alicia was tthe back of our fence and the tv blew when the power came back on. My most vivid memory is watching a seagull trying to fly down the big ditch in back of our house. It would get going and swoop into the ditch to try to get away from the wind. The wind was too much for it and it literally ended up flying backwards. LOL
