Cyclone Looming

Well looks like it's going to get windy over here.

I really hope it does not turn into a 5 as I know what VANCE did here in 1999.

Goodbye to the new cannal/marina and resort.... O what but the experts told us it will be fine from their modeling they did on their computers

Wags,

Do you think you can get the Blu-ray discs done before you get blown away ?

Good to hear that. Though when I was in Australia in Cairns they had what they referred to as "showers" for most of the week. Back here we call them major thunderstorms It was like the Foster's commercial that played off "that's not a knife, this is a knife" line from Crocodile Dundee. Do not know if you have seen them or not (my friends in Sydney had not seen this until we went to the brewery where they have the commercials from all over the world. Probably on the net somewhere now.) Great White Shark attacking a cage and the voice over is "guppy."

I really have to get back your way at some point. Spent a bit over a month there and it was wonderful.
