with our grandchildren.

MORE record flooding. No doubt the people down there will get to work dealing with this one too. But the coastal plain, rising seas, sinking land, perhaps stronger storms, climate change.

Our little dock on an estuary right off Tampa Bay is often flooded these days, just 4 years ago much more rarely. What're communities in your area going to do, Malaise? Is all okay with you?
