16. SM, I understand hurricane season is bad enough in a normal year.

Fortunately, we haven’t been directly hit, but we did have a lot of flooding from Sally. Watching the news and weather makes me weary. There are so many benefits to living on the Gulf Coast, beautiful area, great food, and those sea breezes.

Good luck! And vent away!
