We here in South Florida experienced a bit of wind and a bit of rain. I doubt we had a gust over 25mph. I even did my daily "aging man walk" in the rain, and the rain was a welcome respite from the high heat and humidity we normally have this time of year (meaning 9 months of the year). Considering the fate that befell the Bahamas, we were exceedingly fortunate. The next time a Category 5 hurricane approaches this area, I intend to "get the hell out of Dodge" days in advance by taking the earliest flight out. There's no way I want to experience 185mph winds for several hours. You're welcome to stay with me Weepy. I have a floor mattress you can use.

Just remember, if you see a hose, a bucket with lotion, and a rope nearby the bed, it's a trick -- there's a hole under it.

If my memory's not failing the poor kid on the left went down not in a hurricane but the snows of killer Colorado. Before his time. Brandon de Wilde? Other than Shane and Hud, the only other thing I saw him in was a season one episode of Hawaii Five-0, playing a truly obnoxious hippie who masterminded the theft of some Hawaiian relics. Acxording to the all-knowing Wikipedia, Brandon de Wilde left this world in the following manner: "On July 6, 1972, deWilde was in Denver, Colorado, for a stage production of Butterflies Are Free. He was killed in a traffic accident in the Denver suburb of Lakewood. DeWilde was driving a camper van that went off the roadway, struck a guardrail and then a parked truck. DeWilde was alone in his vehicle and not wearing a seatbelt. His camper rolled onto its side and pinned him into the wreckage. He was taken to St. Anthony Hospital, where he died at 7:20 p.m. of multiple injuries that included a broken back, neck, and leg." I'll match your Gomer/Andy with Felix/Oscar in that trope category. Too bad they didn't trot out that trope for Route 66. Can you imagine that "Buzz, you saved my life!" car ride? These post-Dorian allergies are the pits! It's also 92F out today.

Much appreciated, Marshmallow. Just be sure to keep a case of cold Anchor Steam beer at the ready. I'd also like to visit City Lights Books. Isn't Lawrence Ferlinghetti 100 years old this year? Bless his anarchistc heart! Yup!

Sometimes I don't know what the hell you'll all talking about. You don't wanna know. " Believe me".
