It appears that the storm has taken a violent hard right turn is headed into mainland Florida at or near the Tampa area. While this will give us only a bunch of wind and rain, I feel it's going to do a lot of damage and probably cause some casualties in the Tampa MidFlorida area. If you or any of...

ATTENTION TAPS
I told you earlier that the hurricane was going to stay away from the Tampa area. The storm has changed its mind and it is now heading toward Tampa. This is a conservative site, but that guy who runs this site is also a paid storm follower. He has new information and is continuously updating it.... Sign in to see full entry.
Okay. I'm back. My publishing group is setting me up for a series of book signings in Florida and southern Georgia this late fall and during the winter. I missed what appeared to have been a good one in Live Oak (Florida) Saturday, but I wasn't told about it far enough in advance to be ready. That... Sign in to see full entry.
Today has already been one of those days where ya wish you could reset the clock and try again. Take away the (by actual count) seventeen calls from companies that want me to change my healthcare insurance (no, thank you!), credit card companies calling to offer me a "SPECIAL NEW CREDIT CARD!" (No,... Sign in to see full entry.

A quick look at the radar and forecasted tracking of the tropical storm that is about to become a hurricane show it's still headed fairly much right at us. Every moment it keeps going west improves the chance it won't be a direct hit. We are prepared. We have about fifteen loaves of bread in the... Sign in to see full entry.

Food for thought. A bottle of water can be 50 cents at the supermarket, $2 at the gym, $3 at the movies, and $6 on the plane. The only thing that changed its value was the location, so the next time you feel your worth is nothing, maybe you're in the wrong place. Sign in to see full entry.
Hurricane Update
I'm getting calls and emails asking if we will be safe here during the soon-to-be hurricane that appears to be "heading right for us!" (a phrase from an early South Park episode!). At this time, the storm seems to be dead-heading toward "My Little Town" (from the song by Simon and Gar, The Funkel... Sign in to see full entry.

Lisa's New Glasses
Lisa normally wears contacts, but it's been hard for her because of the humidity and sometimes the dust we are working in, so she got some new sunglasses on Thursday. What ya think? I prefer the contacts, but when push comes to shove, I prefer the girl no matter what. V Sign in to see full entry.

We've been busy with a number of things and it has been one of those "make hay while the sun shines" things. I hate to stay away, but the weather has been nice on the Gulf side of Florida while the Atlantic side has been wet and windy. We are heading back into a 92 - 98 degree span of days, and I'm...

It's a very nice day outside after a cool, almost cold night of about 65. That seems weird to say 65 is cold, but after months of having lows of 76, 65 is nearly Artic weather! The nice thing was it kept my wife close to me all night. She says I am her "furnace," and I put off a lot of body heat.... Sign in to see full entry.
