Geeze my eyesight's getting bad, I thought you were KennyR!

I thought this was about "The Hurricane" Alex Higgins, you know, the snooker player! :-)

Heh.
At the first glance, I thought that hurricane looked like Scandinavia! :-P
Do you think your barn will hold this year, T_bone? :lol:

Lol! it's long gone, I replaced it with 2 $499.00 aluminum carports, and a good fence around the back. I miss having the barn though, nothing beats one for storing all your crap! :-P
I'll be in Virginia about the time the storm hits though, my wife got suckered into a club membership at "The Club at Lake Gaston Resort" so I'll be moving the camper and the golf cart up there (everyone there drives golf carts around *everywhere*, to restaurants, the stores, the bars, etc.) It doesn't seem like a bad deal, but these "clubs" sound a lot like those timeshares. $15K gets you a permanent camp lot and part overship of the resort. You never know though, maybe the storm will follow us up. :-P

Wow, must be nice being able to store things outside. There is so much humidity, rain and heat down here if i leave anything outside, even in the shed, it rusts almost immediately if it's metal, and everything else just molds. Electronics? Forget about it:-/

Nothing makes you appreciate where you live more than the stories of other people. I live in a pleasant green valley. The soil is mostly clay, but fertile and rich. The summers are warm, the winters are mild. We just don't get floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, whiteouts, droughts, volcanoes, earthquakes, blizzards, huge storms, fog, or malaria outbreaks. We all have central heating but rarely need it. Air conditioning is extremely uncommon.
I suppose this is because my ancestors were sensible enough to build their houses in a place that wasn't a swamp, hurricane alley or tectonic plate fault. :)
But then again...you have no idea how boring it can be. We had some thunder last night and it was like Christmas. :-D

So that's how all their bases are belong to you (and I guess shared with Norway etc) ;-)

Hmm.. Let's see. In FL I've seen flooding(minimal), drought, tornadoes, hurricanes, huge storms (on a daily basis usually), fog, bad drivers, criminals, rich white kids, limmosine liberals, celebrities, Canadians, raging fires, rabid animals, sharks, alligators, democrats, snakes, hobos, gay cities and Ricky Williams. Let's just say the one thing South Florida ISN'T is boring :lol:

hum,
And if it does get too much for you then the Bermuda triangle is just fine and close, for you to get away from it all...

Uhhh...
This place is a trailer park.
Ok, it has a golf course, marina, docks, fishing, restaurants, tennis, swimming pools, bars, dancing...
but it's just a trailer park, and it's the largest trailer park I've ever seen!
There's some stereotypes breeding in this place... anyone ever play Trailer park tycoon? This is a real life version, no kidding, I thought that game was just poking fun at trailer parks, but no.
This place is so campy it has to be seen to be believed, I'm going to bring a camera next time, you won't believe it. Not saying it's bad, it's kind of cool in a way, but it's funny as hell.
The guy in the lot next to us doesn't have a camper, he has a boat, not on a trailer where it could be moved... it's planted in the dirt with a deck built around it, the entire hull is below the dirt. When we arrived he came out of the cabin and yelled "ahoy"...
Did i mention the bull horns he has duct taped to his golf cart?
Wireless internet though... but no phone service.
