Prayers are with you, gc. Katrina was pretty bad here, and that was Cat 1. I shudder at the thought of her future plans.

Amen to that. Four hurricanes a year is worth it, just so we can have December, January and February.

I remember that day! It was a Thursday, wasn't it?

Goey, If I recall correctly, we were all prayin for yer health some time back. Those pics seem to say, "Lookin Good!" How are you?

Irisheyes, Your husband is right on in his approach to those books.

Oh, all right... Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

I just took a drive, and saw... blue skies!

Hmm... Was it Smikeol, or Gulliblum?

Irisheyes, please note that the comment Mike made was solely for your benefit, so please be sure to pay very close to it, because when Mike speaks... it rarely benefits the person to whom addressed.

:)--> You hate being exposed as a doubletalking dodger, don't you?

black is white, up is down, dogs sleeping with cats, mass pandemonium!

No.

YYYYYYYYYYES! I remember! I remember! He loaned the motorcycle to the big guy when no one was paying attention.

Oh shoot, I know this one... it's right there, I can see it... Argh!

Who knows? I never thought I'd move into it.

Yup. We lost four. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/weather/h...-home-headlines

Mike, I neither requested nor care for your opinion on how I approached those verses, nor do I accept you as an authority on whether my approach was right, wrong, close, on the mark, off the mark, on the wall, off the wall, 99 bottles of beer on the wall, etc.

Yet.

Sorry, you got the movie first. Your move.

I had no power through the night. It was kind of strange. This all stopped for us as suddenly as it started. As we approached 10 p.m. was the worst of it, and at 10:05, it was over. I was home, in the dark, windows open, trying to get some sleep (because there was nothing else to do). The rain and wind were as bad as anything I've ever seen. And then it just stopped. I figured another band would come through later, but it never happened. What I didn't know, couldn't know, was that the storm had taken a rough turn south. It battered the hell out of Fort Lauderdale, but we were on the northern edge of it. It made landfall south of us, a city called Hallandale (just north of Miami-Dade County). Then it shocked us all by continuing its southward trend. By the time I woke up this morning, the skies were cloudy but otherwise showed no sign of what it had thrown on us the night before. Homestead and Southwest Miami-Dade got battered worse than we did. And did I mention it was the 13th anniversary of Hurricane Andrew? The rest of the track isn't looking good: it's slated to turn north and hit the Panhandle region next week. As if they need it. For me, this is over. For Florida, far from it.

You got the right movie, Tom, but it's: Post Manhole Weighs Strings Two Eyes

DINGDINGDING!!!!
