The Coffee House

My Tampa friends were able to evacuate. I guess the most challenging part was finding someplace to go that takes pets and is within one tank's worth of gas, since you can't buy it anywhera on Florida at this point.

Glad they found somewhere to go. My friend was evacuated from St Pete and wound up with her niece at USF dorms. She had to bring her theee cats with her. Gas to get out was an issue. Everyone was buying it for their generators. My cousin is sticking it out at home in Hernando County area. The rest of my FL family came up here a few days ago for our annual family reunion and horseshoe tournament tomorrow.

Praying that everyone in FL stays safe.
I'm so glad. I wanted my sister to come up from her home in central Florida, but she thinks it's too much trouble - she does have a lot of critters at any given time (she volunteers at a local animal shelter and fosters a lot), plus the gasoline shortage, made her more willing to ride it out. There won't be any danger of storm surge in her area, just the power outage and high winds. She said she's getting a little nervous, especially since the damn thing has slowed down so much, but she's fairly confident that they'll get through it all right. Ugh. Scram, Irma!
 
We have friends who live SW of Homestead. They posted awhile ago on FB that it had started there and so far they were okay. Power going off and on.
 
Bama win over Fresno Bulldogs, was uneventful. 2nd string got some play time. Auburn/Clemson closer than I thought it would be. Actually thought Auburn might pull it off for awhile.
 
Millennium softball dropped both games in the double header vs TriTown yesterday. Despite some stellar defensive plays and fierce hitting, they could not overcome the walks and passed balls. Currently they're ranked 4th out of 8 but AP will likely drop them down to #8 after their dual losses to #2 TriTown.
 
Walks will kill you every time. Gary thought Millenium would at least get a split if not dominate both games. They've been watching too much Dodger ball.

Buenas Dias Coffee Hosers. Gary is sipping his coffee reading the paper. With all this Irma news ... one would have thought it would have hit Florida weeks ago. Gary thinks earthquakes are better than hurricanes ... no build-up, no drama, no winds or water, just a wham-bam thank you Ma'am ... the buildings are down. An earthquake also takes care of half the demolition and there's no mold and very little below ground damage so there's no turds floating around in the streets.
