This. Andrew hit on August 24. We didn’t get power back at the house until the first week of October. Downtown Miami was without water for over a week.
Spent lots of time at Holmes Beach on Anna Maria growing up. Grandad was the episcopal priest there. Forever it was a sleepy little beach town with all of the money in Sarasota. Uncle still lives in Bradenton. I am hoping he and his family bug out.
I grew up in Miami, was there for Andrew, and still have family there. I have no desire to retire there for numerous reasons (storm risk and clean up among them), and had thought hard about a move to....western NC to avoid all of that.
Dr. D? Ernie ______ (can’t remember his last name). I had him too. Also drew Captain Hook (“C is a fine grade. It means completely satisfactory”) Professor Quarles. (Go Gata)
Agreed on the Sonoran dog. Was average at best even after a half dozen cheap beers from the Beer Barn.
Best new items we tried were the Palmer’s chicken pancake balls, burnt ends balls, and the cotton candy bacon on a stick. If you get the burnt ends balls I recommend getting the sauce on the side.
Good god this thread sucks.
@immamac Could we possibly start a new one for news updates and leave all the policy discussions, personal insults, and dick measuring in this one?
