Yes, but misspelling "capewell" as "capwell" is not only against the spirit of the challenge, but seems borderline stewpid. FYI, if you use the correct spelling, you get 10 hits; no Googelwhack there. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

368,000 feet. That not only beats their own record, but beats the X-15's record with Scott Crossfield (I believe SC had the record, anyway). Watched the whole flight on CNN, and there was none of the drama of last week's flight. What this showed me is that people can do amazing things yet. Hell, the entire flight was captured by a camera/tripod setup designed, built, programmed and run by high school kids; and it functioned wonderfully well. Wendy, I don't think NASA's day is done, but this should shake the program mangaers to their roots because it proves you don't need to throw billions at a challenge to win it. Space flight will never be truly cheap, but the lumbering bureacracy that is NASA needs to change their entire mindset. I don't think I'd relish the thought of getting on that bomb known as the shuttle with its attached bottle rockets, but a lightweight craft powered by tire rubber and nitrous seems a lot safer to me.

Yes, I'm sure it will, and she will most likely have a bike in it -- I found another way of anchoring the straps and I think it will be able to make the trip. Fare well, my friend, fare thee well.

I took the following from a post on my "Thanks A Lot, Jeanne" thread but seeing as so many people have asked about the FL DZs, I figured it deserves its own thread: When I find out anything else, I will update this thread.

Actually, the adjuster is simply confirming what I and the other RV owners who saw our coach have felt (as well as the RV body tech I spoke with at the selling dealership). There are times you have to simply fold up your tent and steal away into the night. This is one of those times. Still no word on the store, btw, I talked with the Indian River Emergency folks tonight and they could not give me an answer. They did tell me, however that Roseland Road (the main road to the DZ) had been flooded in spots. The store is on what passes for high ground in FL, but it is the glass exposure on the east end that concerns me; there was nothing in front of it to protect it from the wind or, more importantly, the wind-driven debris. Word is that it may be at least three weeks before power gets restored in the area. The county was hit extremely hard. Those of you who know the area are well acquainted with the Sandrift Motel, the second story is gone; Capt. Hiram's sustained major damage and the road along the river has been washed away in many areas. I'm not complaining, folks, just letting out what information I have. I have tried to get in touch with BendyWendy, but have had no luck. The ES folks assured me she is not on any casualty list, just out of touch as the phones are out and cellular service is spotty at best. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Well, the adjuster was here this morning and his gut feeling is the same as ours, Chuck. "It has lost structural integrity." Looks like they'll be totalling it. Insurance isn't a problem -- this falls under the classification of Comprehensive damage, hence only a $100 deductible; the problem is that totalling it out will not replace it and we cannot either.

I told you this was not a good day. Took a disposable camera to get shots before the cleanup. Click here to check the pix out. What the shots don't show is the extent of the warping on the ceiling and the fact that the passenger side is wracked -- opening the door to get in was a real bitch. My guess is somewhere between $40K to a total. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Nope

Here's my update: We lost power about 1800 last night. I woke up at 0115 to the glare of flourescent lights in the kitchen, so got up and reset all the clocks, closed the windows and turned the ceiling fans back on. The house is fine and there is very little clutter in the yard compared to the other storms, but we did not get away completely clean. A huge farking tree fell into the storage yard where our RV is kept -- it punched a hole in the shower area and broke the roof and wall in the area of the bathroom sink. The roof is buckled in from the refrigerator back to the bedroom and the dish and airhorns have been smashed. I estimate about $50,000 in damage. Oh well, it's only a piece of material goods, not gonna stress about it. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

So far, so good here in Flagler. We haven't had the sustained winds that we had from Frances, but have had some gusts that seemed higher. All systems are operational though that may change at any moment. I see no signs of damage from inside the house now, but am not about to go traipsing about until things calm down (expected to be early evening).

How to make Hurricane Ingredients: 1.0 splash Grenadine 2.0 oz Orange juice 4.0 oz Pineapple Juice 1.0 shot Meyers Dark Rum Directions: mix the Meyers dark Rum, Pineapple juice, and orange juice, and stir. Then splash enough grenadine turn turn the drink red OR Pat O'Brien operated a speakeasy during prohibition known as, "Mr. O'Brien's Club Tipperary" in New Orleans. The password to get in was, "storm's brewin'". After the repeal of prohibition, opened "Pat O'Briens". During W.W.II, it was difficult to get whiskey, but rum was in ample supply. With the help of the liquor salesman, this cocktail was born. It is served in a 26 oz. hurricane glass, which is named after the shape of a hurricane lamp and the drink. INGREDIENTS: 1 1/2 oz. each of light and dark rum 1oz. passion fruit syrup 3/4 oz. lime juice PREPARATION: Shake with ice and serve in a hurricane glass. Garnish with a flag OR GOOGLE "hurricane recipe" and get all sorts of variations. But the second one I copied is probably the real McCoy. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Lots of good shows mentioned, but I really enjoyed the original Bob Newhart show (and of course the second one, esp. with the last episode). Then there was the classsic comedy show of the 80s on WTBS -- Braves' Baseball. It lost a lot when the Braves got good and started winning, but in the bad old days it was fun to listen to the announcers trying to come up with something to say as the games got out of hand. The funniest thing of all was watching the Braves try to play baseball. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?
