Wilma, we hardly new ya—thank the Goddess

Wilma has come & gone as of this writing, and even though she hit way south of here, we’ve been getting tropical storm-force wind gusts (and possibly hurricane-strength gusts) all night & morning. And it’s also *chilly* out there! Chilly for FL, that is. ;-) I think the temps are mid-50s.

My dad, who lives on an island just off of Marco Island (near Naples), is doing fine and weathered the storm quite well. He doesn’t know if his place flooded yet or not, though. He’s been staying with a friend in Bonita Springs, and when I called they were drinking Mimosas. Now *that’s* the way to deal with hurricanes! :-D
