Here's hoping all of us 'flurries' (Floridian 'furries') can weather
this storm. A local meteorologist had just referred to "Hurricane
Frances" as a (quote) "Labor Day event" (unquote)... Wrong! A picnic or
a beach party is a "Labor Day event". THIS is a disaster in the making!
Take care of you and yours, Jim. I'll let you know how me and mine
fared, next week.
