Good Morning All from Gulf Shores AL. Cloudy and 79°, 89% humidity...seems like it's raining about 30 miles west of here according to the radar. Outer bands from the hurricane Zeta. Doesn't appear to be any headed directly here yet. Looking at the radar in the Gulf, it doesn't seem to be as much rain as I normally see associated with hurricanes. But they do tend to catch everyone off-guard. Jim Cantore is over in Gulfport MS, so we're probably OK here. Politicians here are freaking out, but most folks seem to be taking things in stride and don't seem to expect any major disaster. It did not rain here yesterday or last night as predicted.
Our condo is still going to shut down the elevator at 10:00, so we're leaving. While I would have preferred to head to the Hampton Inn one mile inland, my wife decided that she would rather go and stay with her sister, right on the beach! I guess that we'll see what happens out there.
How about a couple of breakfast burritos this morning Flo. Sausage, potato, egg and cheese will do. A healthy helping of spicy salsa on the side.
I surely miss the train shed back home. Thankfully I turned the heater on out there so it will be comfortable when I return Friday.
Joe - You're correct about there being two bad choices in many elections. At home, there is usually only one candidate in many down-ballot offices as well. In my 50 years of voting, I have only voted for the winning Presidential candidate three times. That's just a 25% success rate! It's too bad that personalities get in the way of policies so often.
Alan - Over the years, I would have really relished the thought of building a Sierra West kit. They just never fit my era or locale and if they came close they sold out before I had a chance to act. I imagine that they come up on Ebay every so often, but I am not an online shopper so I would probably miss them.
Garry - Continued well wishes and I hope the test comes back negative.
Gotta go now, time to start packing. Everybody stay safe and have a great day.
