Fall's finally arrived in Florida, with enough gusto to shove a hurricane out of the way. Thank God for both the arrival and the shoving. It pushed Wilma off the projected track and surprised a lot of S.E. Florida people who foolishly relied upon the weather service's map, the one with the broken line that runs up the center of the Cone of Uncertainty. Now there are 3.2 million people without power, some living in 20-floor "walk-ups" with no glass in their windows or sliding glass doors. Down in Naples, some have neither power nor running water, some have water but no power, some have tree holes in their roofs, some have no roofs at all. If you want to see local photos of the damage, do a Google search for the Naples News, the Palm Beach Post, the Boca Raton News, and the Miami Herald, and see what they are displaying.
The only good news is, we don't need power for the air conditioners. It was 50 degrees outdoors in Clearwater this morning and it's 74 degrees inside the house right now with the a/c and the heat off. Great stuff! Tomorrow I'm going to finish a defensive motion to file in a federal case I'm defending and then I'm going to get into a weekend mood right away.
