As a resident of Florida I must say this summer has been a tough one. I was grazed by Charlie and watched a somewhat weakened eye of Francis roll right over my house. Now I watch and prepare for Ivan. I mean come on, I just got my power back yesterday. Seems like that will end up being just in time to lose it again. I have left up my plywood from Francis and will ride out this beast, Ivan, as well. To those who may share my tropical latitude, I hope that you come through next week unscathed. For the rest of you, I just hope you will keep up the good thoughts for all the astro-nuts here in the sunshine state, and all the victims of this years storm season. Clear skies.
