Does anyone know a good lawn service?!?!
Hey guys! Val asked me to drop by and let you all know that he is alright. They are still living off the generator (don't worry, I'm sure he hasn't run out of beer yet!), and he was trying to clean up ManCamp and the yard a bit.
Thanks to all of you for your well-wishes. I have a new respect for these "weak" Category 1 hurricanes. We drove around a bit to run some errands, and the scenes we witnessed were quite reminiscent of the Andrew aftermath: lines two blocks long at the few gas stations that are open, fallen branches, not to mention whole trees everywhere, most of the traffic lights out. I am surprised that when I went to the grocery store yesterday afternoon, it was quick and painless, and things were well-stocked.
Katrina is reportedly a Category 3 now, and could reach Category 4 by the time she reaches land again. My heart goes out to those in her path now.
I will be posting a few shots of the damage in our neighborhood over at Brandon's Puppy, so drop by and check them out!

Hey!
You can always call Carlos Santana Landscaping. He got his lawnmower back, and even a leafblower!

Tell Val he doesn't need electricity to surf.
FP&L's on it. The juice will be back on soon.
