take care and batton down the hatchs

i finally got ahold of my family in south florida and it's not good. it wasn't a katrina but it's still shitty there. no power or water for the next few days and weeks. now i know why my fiance pushed so hard last year to leave and move up north. being disabled just isn't good in a place prone to the hand of god six months a year. it kills me not to be with my family and friends but i did offer a place to stay. granted it's 1200 miles away but atleast we don't get hurricanes. also, my thoughts and prayers go to the patients/care givers in the area.

take care and god bless......
