Subject: RE: BS: Florida Mudcatters - how are you?!
While I wouldn't be surprised if we see a hurricane with a "S" name this year, I don't think Sale is it . . .

Really, while this year has been tough, I have lived 25 years in Florida and with the exception of this year, I've only had to deal with 2 other hurricanes. Neither of those were big deals.

I've been through two earthquakes in San Bernardino, CA (used to live 1 mile from the San Andreas Fault), and 2 winters of tons of snow and skiing to school (living at 10,000 ft. on the south slope of the Grand Mesa in Colorado). 5 hurricanes in 25 years ain't so bad.

Hell, the worst part is that each one has ruined a perfectly good weekend. Labor Day is the day I host my annual chili cook-off with over 100 chilies and $2,500 is prizes. Had to cancelled the first one in 9 years.
