One brave -- or foolhardy -- fisherman decided to get a few casts in before the storm hit. Hey Kathy, you think that "fisherman" is meekie?

[beachn4fun]

tom..... that is not the kind of lunch I had.

More like this:

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Meekie, for my morning hot chocolate with marshmallows. It was tasty this morning. It's trying to rain, and not doing a very good job of even trying.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Nope! He lives somewhere way to the north. Now my brother in the "green" might be another matter. I am always amazed at how some folks choose to be out when all sensible people are someplace prepared for what a storm will bring.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh my goodness! You are a "storm surfer"? How safe is that!!! When I lived in southern California, during/after every storm we would hear about some surfer who ended up dead from being where he probably shouldn't have been. I guess that is part of the allure of surfing: BIGGER waves!

[LadyHawk]

Hello everybody! Wishing all the troops in theater a great day!

Welcome to the canteen Centurion2000!

I had my pecan waffles, bacon and juice a little late, but boy did they hit the spot!

Hey, Kathy! I was thinking about you while I was stranded outside in the pouring rain! Hope you get some relief soon!

At-a-Boys for all the beautiful flowers, poems, goodies and sunset! Neat stuff!
