Hi Mary, I feel your pain. I'm still cleaning the popcorn off my floors from the ceiling leaks. Does Coates like it plain or with extra butter?

Kevin,
Don is the popcorn eater....Coates, he'll eat just about anything. Not much for roof leaks with me, only on one exterior wall, totally controllable.
Hope you stayed a little bit dry, what you got would have fed off of the big O. Bet Henry Dean and his cronies at SFWMD are having fun with the lake, especially if he still has his geologist buddy over in Sarasota area as number 2. SJRWMD put up with those two for 17 years, a record for state mandated WMD's. We'll see how Green handles SJRWMD now with so much water being dumped in from Ft Drum to Lake George, should I call a couple of my cubical engineer buddies and complain about the rising water???

Mary

Fay just isn't going to leave you guys alone, Mary!

BB, Maybe all us Floridians should move to AR, like N/O. Better yet, the true crackers will ride out the loverly weather and send all the Yanks your way. Then they could learn to deal with ice storms and the occasional torndaos.
Remember at least we can usually tell when it is coming, (except for the tornados) and stock up, unlike CA and their earthquakes. Our problem is most 'residents' don't pay attention to experience, and watch mother nature. All storms coming off the gulf and across the state from the west
rarely have much wind, just lots of water and people think the land will break the depression up. the elevation is not high enough and it is usually coming over very warm shallow lakes, great feeding material.

Mary, I'll take a pass on the Yankees, but thank you anyway...

We've been very fortunate because so many of our transplants are engineers and hands on managers that demand better schools for their children, and that improves the education for everyone. And hey - you can do much worse than having a retired engineer living next door! He's got great toys that he knows how to use and time on his hands!

So your warming to the idea of me moving down by Kitty. I knew you'd come around

Bob259,
Now there are Yankees and there are Yankees. You are damn near Canadian....but then that can be another story, be out in the Islands when some them come down for the winter. In fact sat next to a family from Toronto at the City Cafe on Sunday for breakfast. Rather interesting/amusing conversation going on between the mother, father and youngest daughter over what grits were and what they might taste like. Gator you would have had a field day listening to the waitress describe grits to the family.

Anyway Bob, I think after 30 years or so we could almost accept you in the Deep South, that or a month living in the man cave with Commander Kitty, that would be a bit like a frat hazing.
