All wet

[skybytch 273]

Got the call I was dreading this morning. From my landlord (who is, btw, the coolest person ever).

As I was expecting, my little cottage by the river wasn't Jeanne-proof. He's in there pulling what's left out today... I have five Rubbermaid containers with dry stuff and everything else is... well... all wet.

No report on what's left at the dz/gear store. Not expecting good news there either...

I think somebody's trying to tell me something. I think I'm gonna listen.

I fly back to FL from northern California in a couple hours. I'll see what's left when/if they let me back in. And then I'm going to pack my five dry containers, my dog and myself into my car (assuming of course that it made it through Jeanne in the longterm parking at Orlando a/p) and drive our asses HOME.

Biggest bummer is I think I left my lappie in it's case on the floor of the bedroom. Doh.

The good things? My dog is fine. I'm okay. The rest of it is just stuff.

Have to laugh. It hurts less than crying.

Lisa, that sucks. People talk all the time about "a door never closes without another one opening" but sometimes that's bullshit.

I hope that wherever you end up, you can look back on a rich year of experiences. You got to own a business, meet a bunch of wonderful new people, and feel the freedom of cutting away. No, it didn't all work but no one can ever take the experiences from you.

And if you come through Houston, holler.

Oh god, Lisa....I'm so sorry!

[sunshine 2]

Lisa, i'm glad you're going home. I know you've had some good times in FL, but you never thought of it as home. Now you'll be back in CA where you belong and you'll be around your awesome son. Glad Molly is ok. Material things are replaceable. Be safe.

i've found it is always better to laugh than to cry about the things you cannot change...

its a hell of a lot more fun for one, and you look better doing it, and remember it's always better to look good than to feel good

going to swing through eloy on your way back to cali?

goin back to cali cali cali... goin back to cali....

Good Luck Lisa. Some of it can be salvaged I hope. If not be sure to get what help you can from the government and insurance.... they are dropping lots of bucks down there right now.

[PLFKING 4]

Sorry to hear of it, Leees.....good luck.

It was great having you over here on the East Coast for awhile.....props to California for sharing you with the rest of us.

Lisa,
Although we only met for a few minutes and it was a few weeks ago, I'm sorry for your losses and for your pain. If you make it to Perris by Sat. 9 Oct, I'll see you there, if not, godspeed...I'll see you when I see you.

if you need a place to stay for a night before taking off, remember i've always got room for you.

You HAVE to come back and visit. I never got to take you over to the Hills. You'll be missed here.

That really sux Lisa


Of course what sux more is that I won't now get to meet you when I'm in Fla.



Hope you don't loose out too munch in the shop.

You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky)

How's yours doing?

Lisa, damn. I hadn't heard how anyone fared after Jeanne in Sebastian and I am really really sorry to hear that the storm tore your place up. I completely understand that you want to get back home. Not a real good welcome from FL, but DAMN. Sebastian isn't going to be the same for me without you there. You were the second dz.commer I ever met and totally supported me through my AFF and beyond and I am going miss the hell outta you if you go.

I am free this weekend. It's one of the few that I have a little spare time. If you're in town, I'll drive up to Sebastian and give you a hand with your place. Or buy you a beer. Or both. Seriously, let me know if you'll be in town and I'll make the drive over there.

Fuckin' hurricanes.
