It is a 500 year flood event. I doubt there has been one like this one, certainly not in my lifetime. Here is the causeway to Sanibel. What a mess
D-League
- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
Don't let them fall in the pool.
Trip home from Athens was "interesting". Plan was Athens/London/Philly/CVG, 19 hours total. But, for unknown reasons, Athens flight left 1/2 hour late & we sat on tarmac at Heathrow for a 1/2 hr. Net, we missed our flight to Philly. So BA & AA booked us on the only thing they had that would get us home "same day": London/DFW !!! / CVG and extra 4 hours in the air. That was OK except the AA DFW-CVG flight was 1.5 hours late. So instead of walking into house at 930p as originally planned, it was 145a. 25+ hours from when we left hotel. Sounds brutal but somehow we both coped better than either expected.

It is one thing to have water in your house. That is about as bad as it gets but quite another thing to have Ali Alligator paying a visit. I have heard stories of water snakes in houses and the occasional gator, just part of living in what once was Nature's Great Swamp before man showed up. "Honey bring the shotgun, NOW"
I know we have a lot of Ali fans. I was going through some magazines I have on Ebay for sale and found this one. I bought it in 1964. The Sonny Liston second fight.
Sonny thought he was crazy. Before one of the fights (can't recall which), he was out in front of Liston's house with a loudspeaker ranting and calling him names such as "big old ugly bear". Liston called the cops on him. BTW, rumors at the time of his death were Liston was killed by the mafia for horning in on their bookie operations.I know we have a lot of Ali fans.

A friend of mine who lives in Scotland sent this picture to me.
It is a three dimensional likeness of a young woman buried at Whithorn Priory in Galloway, Scotland. It has been released as part of a project and exhibition designed to bring modern-day Scots face to face with their medieval ancestors.
The women was in her 20s when she died sometime in the 14th century

Not being a smart aleck but darned if she doesn't look like Wilma but with a different hair doo...
Hello all again,
Been a day to remember for sure, for a whole lot of people. My Prayers go out to those affected.

HA,
I forgot to tell you all what I did today!
A first for me in my 61 years....
I took my Buddy's wife to the hospital to have her baby at 5AM this morning. (I never took another man's wife anywhere that I am aware.
)
I also stopped at our chestnut tree and got 9 more chestnuts for My Darling. I sure did try to find ten but they were just not there.
I hired him when he lived in Colorado and we both worked for who I used to work for. That is how I met him. After about a year he got a job on Fort Belvoir about 7 miles from where I live. He and his wife live about a half mile from us. (I found him his house.) They have both been good friends.
Anyway, he is in his middle 50's (I think 54), he is a new Dad I think by now as My Darling and I talked with them earlier after I got home from work. She is a nice lady.
I do not envy the boy though (He had a class he had to finish today that is required where he works.) At his age with a new one. God Bless them...
The BB is all I can handle and I'm just his Papa... (The BB is downstairs running his grandma around the house in a manner of speaking...)

For those interested, the Bengals are playing tonight on Prime.

Of course Kentucky if full of girls with Scott DNA.
Off the topic, but how does a chestnut tree still exist anywhere? I thought they were all wiped out 75 years ago.HA,

Miami is showing how an O-line is supposed to protect a quarter back. They are giving Tagovailua a lot of time to throw. His last throw though was too weak and it got intercepted. Bengals leas 7-3 and currently have the ball.
Burrow running for his life again. 2 plays, 2 times he had to run to avoid a sack.

The Bengals may or may not play well tonight but I gotta give a big thumb’s up to the “white tiger” unis. Very sharp.
When the idea of the alternate jerseys was laid out, I wasn't sold on it. After seeing them tonight, my opinion has definitely changed. They're probably one of, if not the best alternates in the game now.
If one thing can be said, it's that Florida definitely has the right guy in charge to lead the recovery. Prayers for those affected.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 66°F and clear. Today's high expected around 88°F. Nice.
Heard from other family out in FL via Facebook. They all safe.
We got an early football game tomorrow. Go Cats!
Happy Friday, y'all!
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Fort Meyers is unrecognizable this morning. If you have never seen a scene like this in person it is difficult to explain. Pictures can not do it justice. You have to stand at the scene and just look all around and even then you can not believe your eyes.If one thing can be said, it's that Florida definitely has the right guy in charge to lead the recovery.

100's a people have been rescued. The last I heard 10 are confirmed dead and I fear more may be added to the list. I pray it is not 100's as the Sheriff reported. I think he spoke without verification.
It is times like this that you appreciate who your governor and leaders are. Think before you vote.
Good morning D-League. Up early to rewatch the 4th quarter of the Bengals game. Who Dey still rounding into shape, but a good win. Team should be 4-0 but at least they’ve avoided a disastrous post-Super Bowl hangover. McPherson just nailed that 57yarder. Great to have that weapon.
Missed the hit on the Miami QB that my son says was brutal so can’t comment on that.
Continued prayers for Florida, and now the Carolinas.
Hope it’s a good day for the D-League.

Good last day of September Morning D League
It is 65° and today will bring sunshine with only a 4% chance of rain. The hurricane is gone but destruction remains. We expect a high of 74°. The breeze is steady at 6 mph. So this is a very pleasant day with blue skies. Floridians can see clearly now but the work ahead is monumental and a lot of insurance companies are going to be insolvent when they start paying claims. My insurance rates now are manageable but after this who knows.
I have rehab for my shoulder this morning. It is not healing like it did when I was 75.

Good morning D-League!
44° in our little holler, 70° in the house.
Makin breakfast and getting back in the swing of things.
Hope you and your loved ones are well and safe. Hope Sawnee is drying out down in the beautiful state of FL. Hope the trains are running on time and fully loaded.
Let's get a win from them Rebs tomorrow!

Good morning D-League. It's currently 46° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring cloudy skies and a high of 67°. The remnants of Ian will move into the area tomorrow with soaking rains all day.
Everyone stay safe on this Friday.

Have walked all thru there a couple of times. You don't realize how far down you trek till you start to walk back up & out. And it's like 7000-7500' elevation at top. Can be under 40 in the morn even mid-summer.Good morning D-League. It's currently 46° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring cloudy skies and a high of 67°.

I have Scot ancestry and I do. The computer image was created by Scots so they must have a few over there
Thanks for posting that Sawnee.
The nostalgia is running strong for me hearing that. When I was 21, right out of Kentucky and living in Pompano Beach a couple blocks from A1A, that album was like the sound track of my life. I had a girlfriend who was from the area and whenever we'd be walking along that stretch of beach where the state road signs were on display one of us would sing, "there's something about this Sunday, it's a most peculiar gray, strolling down the avenue that's KNOWN AS A1A..." shouting the last part, because we felt so lucky to be in that beautiful spot along that beach road, and to be 21 and together.
My favorite off that album is this song: I remember thinking about what it would be like to face 40, and finding it impossible to believe I'd ever be that old. Well, I passed that marker more than a quarter century ago.

A long read, but very interesting if you like boxing.
Sonny Liston: The mysterious death that haunts boxing
Sonny Liston was found dead at his Las Vegas home in 1971. A coroner concluded he died of natural causes - but some say the truth is darker.
www.bbc.com
I also have Scottish ancestry and blue eyes.
I look forward to the day I can cast my own vote for DeSantis. He's exactly what I want in a leader.
Another thing, his wife Casey is very impressive. She is smart as a tack and very articulate. She is in charge of raising donations for those who will need some extra help and also the mental health for our first responders and rescue workers. She set up a special program just for them.
She got a huge assistance from Tom Brady in the fund raising and as of this morning has raised in excess of $12 million dollars. As First Lady of the United States of America she would rock. We love her as much as our governor. She is so valuable in support of him.

Good morning all, I took the day off. Working around the house. My Darling has appointments with her friends to eat and socialize. She needs it. Have a fruitful day... Me, I plan to eat English muffins, cream cheese, and coffee shortly.

Such an oily post....😁
They are a hybrid so they will not get the blight.
Another cool and sunny day in Smiths Grove. It was 47°F when I got up and now is 54.3°F on our way to 75. No rain predicted and we really need some.
The damage done to Florida is massive. Water sure can change things. Now that it is back over water it is up to 85 mph already, so a big storm again. Fingers crossed for those folks also.
Game day tomorrow. UK ranked 7, Ole Miss ranked 14th and Ole Miss is the favored. Go figure.

The storm is heading to South Carolina? Predictions.... We shall see. The models or the modeling is not much of a science as it seems guessers with not much accuracy...
