Lisa just called me on her cell phone -- she has reached Sebastian safely; there is no power, but that's not surprising. The good news is that her house is safe and dry. There is water all around it but none got in. I am very happy for her. I am also very happy for her and me because, as was implied in the other reports about Skydive Sebastian, we still have a store! All the windows are intact and the interior is dry. Lisa said that besides the loss of the packing hangar, there is a lot of debris and some downed trees. The Zoo Bar lost some plastic from its awning but all else seems to be good. She has taken a lot of pix and will post them once she gets the means to do so. Thanks to all who asked about our welfare and for all the good thoughts. Come on down and see us for the 2nd Annual Bytch Boogie in November and help us celebrate!

We lost cable at 1100 yesterday and power at 1143. We had sustained winds of around 60mph from 1600 to midnight or so last night. Lots of rain. All came back a little after 1900 this evening. Lynn, Helen, and I are just fine. Our neighbors two doors down lost their storage shed and screen room to a tree and the ones on the other side had a tree fall right next to their hose, but no damage. We had one large branch bounce off our screen room roof and dent it, but no holes punched. A house on the other side of the street at the corner from us had their entire carport peeled off and dumped into the collector pond behind. Still waiting for definitive word from Sebastian; I know there is no power down there, but all the indications are that The Drop Shop survived. Thank you to TPTB.

She's black. She's white. She's got medium length hair. She was born this year on my birthday and currently resides in the Halifax shelter. She picked me out last Friday when we visited. We took her one of Bugs' favorite mousies on Saturday and she took right to it and was playing with it fervently when we left. She's not Bugs' replacement (no one could be), but she's already found a place in our hearts. She comes home tomorow.

Chris, Sometimes life wakes you up to truths like a slap in the face with an ice-cold dishrag, this is one of those times. As you get through your rough patches, you will have the benefit of knowing who you can count on, but I think that isn't what you should take from this. If you use this experience to evaluate how you are a friend to others, it may help you to be a better, truer friend to those who matter to you in your heart. I found out who I could count on when I broke myself and was very fortunate to find that I have some very true friends: the eight people who had ridden to Quincy with us in the RV had to find their own ways back to FL among other minor difficulties. One of them told Lynn to let her know when I was released to come home, when that day came, he flew back to St. Louis and helped her drive us home. He refused to be paid for this none-too-cheap airfare. We don't see one another often, but we both regard him highly and value him. Another made a ninety minute drive to our place the day after we got home to replace my modem which had died while we were gone and carried my computer and stand downstairs and set it up by my chair so I could remain in the living room and be connected; again, there was no paying him I didn't write about these friends to brag about how great my friends are, rather to give examples of how to be a great friend. I have tried to learn from their examples. Cherish those who you value as friends; good friendships age like fine wine -- you may go a long time without seeing or talking to each other, but you always pick up where you left off. Damn, I'm starting to ramble here and haven't really pulled things together as I'd like; but just remember to learn from this and use it to better yourself. No experience is wasted unless you let it be, so make the best of it. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

If you don't get August's I can send you one of the three (no, I didn't stutter, I said "three"!) that we got today. Lynn got hers, I got mine with the membership expiration date of 31 Aug 04 and one with the membership expiration date of 31 Aug 05 (I just renewed). Seems like we have a "new and improved system" at USPA HQ. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?
