Well, Dennis past us and is heading up the Gulf. But not without incident...9:30 PM Friday I was online doing what I normally do. I told my new lady friend that I needed to go outside and move my deck chairs because it was getting nasty out. I didnt get 5' from desk when I heard lightning bang followed by complete darkenss. A tree had came down on a power line on the main road, killing power to about 300 homes in my area.

I spent the rest of the night in the dark, with memories of Hurricane Andrew floating aroung in my sick mind. All the bad things came back to life as the wind howled outside, the tree's seem to find themselves at a 45 degree angle and I was sweating my ass off. The next morning, still no power so I went out to seek breakfast in a air conditioned spot.

I watched the news at my breakfast spot and saw that 185,000 people were without power in my area. NOW...I wonder if this storm was closer...how much more damage I would have seen if the power worked at all?. By 6:30PM the power at the cave was back on and life resumed. I pray for those who live in Dennis's path...and mark my words, this IS my LAST Hurricane Season in Florida!!

It is wet and windy out there right now. We are getting the outer fringe of it where I'm at. It looks as if "Mr. 400" might have a few surprises when he gets back from Taiwan & Korea. Dennis is headed right at Milton, Florida where John Schmidt lives.

Had been thinking about all of you I had met who live in Florida - glad you are ok. Talked to Dayton, he seemed to think he and Fred M would be ok - how is Searing? - haven't heard back from him. And come visit me for a vacation and relocation possibility. I have visited Pensacola and Panama City Beach area, so I can tell you scenery here is better (just my opinion!!!). Mountains- no ocean (if you want water there is a lake 25 minutes away that is 30 miles long and 15 miles wide). NO HURRICANES - worse storm is a little snow (the most in the last 15 years has been a foot and half at a time). Longest power has been out in anyone's memory was for a day. Just got to visit all my neighbors for dinner at the local cafe. And went home to the lights on. I am serious if you want to check it out.
