We have several friends at work that have homes in Florida. One of the couples - Pat and Charlie - are so distraught that they are leaving on Tuesday to go back to their townhouse in Ft Meyers, FL. That is where the worse storm surge and highest winds are projected to occur and their home is close enough to the water to be concerned. We also have other friends with homes in Ft Meyers, Tampa, Orlando and Miami. Of course, our son in law - Mark - has a brother and family in Ft Meyers. I believe that is also the area where Pam and Wally and their family live. I'm sure that there will be some kind of impact from this monster storm and we just hope that it is not very serious. We will be watching the news, for sure, when we are not at work.
We open this morning at 7:45 AM but there was a problem getting to work yesterday for our final day to close this week. There was a charity race/run in town that had our road at the Elk Refuge as part if their route. We left for work when the runners/walkers were on our section of the road and they were not happy people to see us trying to get to work:
All of these people were cursing us and carrying on while calling us all kinds of names. They certainly didn't realize that it was our only way to get to work. Oh, well.
The smoke has just about cleared out of the area and we once again have the views back of the mountains. We hope it stays this way the rest of our season...
