Somehow, in the "busyness" of our lives at the moment, I missed part 2 of your blog and have been concerned til now how you two were doing.

With the storm out in the Atlantic, maybe the water will recede after peaking. One good thing about Florida is that it's Sandy. In Georgia, it's clay and the water runs over it like cement.<br /><br />Very interesting comparing pictures from previous visits.

I can't explain it unless it has something to do with running outside as a kid after a thunderstorm and meeting my neighbor to walk through the water running in the ditches. I think that it was that Tarzan effect -- pretending that we were traveling on some crocodile-laden river. Hmmm . . . that might not be too much of a stretch in Florida. Yikes! Be careful!
