Florida members okay? Please check in

Not being familiar with the locations, just hope all's okay with our people...

The sun came out this afternoon. It's been a week of rain.

My sister was without power until sometime this morning. She had very minimal damage to her house, facia board cover blew off. She is in Defuniak Springs, Florida which is in the panhandle by the way.

I’m pretty sure this didn’t hit near Baz especially since it didn’t impact Byron or Astro.

Most likely he has been taken advantage of the waves and out surfing , if my knee and back were working I’d have been out there as well.

I think she's in Naples or maybe Cape Coral which is ~100 miles south of Sarasota.

We got nuttin'. Just a few showers.

Both Pacific and Atlantic coasts are taking a pounding this week. A whole bunch of homes in Newport Beach and Long Beach CA are awash.

I'm in Bradenton, which abuts the north side of Sarasota. Bradenton is nicknamed Braden-tucky because It's where the riffraff that can't afford million dollar condos, Bentleys, or Grey Poupon, live. (It's actually very nice, but there's truth to my words. )

That's okay, Dixie...at least you're a customer of the best damned shop around.

True, a sad day, as not only was it the last one to close, it was also the first one in Jax.
Lot of good memories there, we had a good group for Friday lunch’s a few decades ago, lots of car talk and event planning (including some of the early parts of the Amelia Island Concourse, the founder lives a few blocks away) our PCA concours and more.

Fear not, Twin Peaks has better food and colder beer.
