I may be in a maudlin mood...having just dug out from under Hurricane Florence?
Coastal North Carolina...I love her...but sometimes I'm not so sure.
We've been through a lot of these hurricanes and next time we're heading for the Appalachians.
Let the devil himself take the house.
Fran, Floyd, Bonnie, Bertha, and a couple other's I'm forgetting.
Now Florence made her mark. We've been living on an island since the storm. Can't get out.
The floodwaters are supposed to start receding, but they seem to be taking their time.
I'm just getting too old for swinging chainsaws, trying to pull stumps, rebuilding fences, reshingling roofs, etc.
The family is OK, and that's all that matters. For a while there I was eyeing the upstairs roof...wondering how I was going to chainsaw a hole in the roof so we could hitchhike a ride with a helicopter. Lucky for us the water receded and never quite got to our house. It was across the street though...didn't miss by much. Sandbags are fun!
Anytime I start feeling sorry for myself I can drive about 1/4 mile and find people with half their entire house under water. We got lucky. Just trees, fences, etc. My garage door landed 6 houses down the street. Well, what was left of it.
On the bright side, despite TV reportings of lootings and such, all we saw were good people pulling together to help each other. Besides, this is North Carolina, and everyone is packing a sidearm. I pity the looter that tries our neighborhood.
I hope this finds you well JB, and I know you are a primary care giver, so God bless OK?
Best wishes and highest regards,
Dan
ps: If the Normandy trip happens next summer I hope to meet up with you if at all possible. We'll talk more when I get some dates OK?
Oh well a garage door isn't much i suppose. Dan behind the car with the 45 take what you want punk but not my CS game
. About the only hurricane i see here is the Wife when she loses it
