good morning everyone. i've been absent because i'm working in va right now.

nice car, ir5

Sure is, almost got one once.

Trailmix, explain what exactly what "one of those cars" means, I'm dying to know.

BTW, I hope everyone is safe in FL and hopefully nobody tried to go kite boarding.

just imagine what that car would be worth now if you'd gotten it.

In my case it was only two or three years ago. Now Bill Cosby on the other hand was GIVEN a dual supercharged, automatic transmissioned Cobra by Carroll Shelby himself. Last year the one remaining vehicle (two were built, one for Shelby and one for Cosby) was sold for $5.5 million. Cosby returned his vehicle to Shelby in 1966 who then sent it to a Ford delear in San Francisco where it was sold, apparently Cosby wasn't comfortable driving a car with 800HP. The guy who bought the car wrecked it and was killed so maybe Cosby was right, even if his wife thinks he's stupid for returning the car.

Good Morning! Doesn't this coffee look like it needs someone to lick off the topping? Enjoy your day! How are our FL friends doing? Stay safe!

Carla, that coffee reminds me of neopolitan squares. Neopolitan squares are yummy goodness in my tummy.

We're doing fine here in our neck of the woods. No idea how Trailmix is, though. Bet her power is out. lol (The power here in Florida totally sux.) I'm a bit concerned about T.O_2_Fl, though. She's right in the thick of it..... there's been major flooding in her area.

Right now there are some pretty good wind gusts and some rain. And the paper is usually delivered before 6am, but it hasn't arrived yet.

You must have the same employer as my husband.

No power outages here...yet....as krikit said, it seems to be somewhat unreliable here...don't know why.

We haven't even really had any kind of 'storm' - I have seen much much worse in terms of winds and downpours since we have been here. It's rainy this morning, but just really a drizzle (knock on wood).

Oh and IR5, by 'those cars' I mean those ugly cars that guys - including my Husband - like

10 days until a day off - well, my Husband is working all this weekend as well, with the upcoming election - geez.

Good morning canucks and honourary canucks!

Coffee does look yummy Carla!

Trailmix- I'm glad things seem to be ok where you are.

Just heard from T.O_2_Fl. They're fine, but she's a little bit worse for wear. Had some flooding in her back yard and it came in through their patio doors. Other than her frazzled nerves, she's fine.

Still no paper.

I have my paper and I don't even subscribe on week days...maybe they delivered yours here?

They called me the other day (the paper) to say they would be delivering Wed to Sat for free, in addition to my subscription to the Sunday paper. I said ok, that was the end of the conversation, I have no idea how long they are delivering those week day papers for freeeeeeeee.

I was rather surprised at the size of the paper - it has next to no classified advertising and it's so small. Only 4 sections.

I called to report a delivery issue. Their message says that, "Due to inclimate weather, today's paper will only consist of the front sections. There will be no inserts and we will not redeliver to Brevard and East Volusia counties."

Okay, so now you are getting your papers for free and I am paying for mine and getting none. I see how they're supporting that promotion now.

Oh cool. You can see the eye of the storm down in Brevard county on this link.

Hello,
