1. Could be a very long couple of days for south and central Florida.

2. My office is on the 7th floor. All windows. No shutters.

Let's just say I'm a little worried. Its a dental office and lab.

Miami isn't expected to get a direct hit, but some of the bands of storms are very strong.

5. mutual aid?

early 1900's, my area had many "mutual aid" socieites.

they ended in '30's due to some wrinkle in insurance laws, which i do not understand.

Any move among dems to revitalize such an idea among dems, especially now that floridian poor and middle class really need it?

7. Charlie got more organized

and the eye is more defined since it past over Cuba. That is not good news. Looks like we're in for some fun down here in Florida.
