The worst part was that the storm pounded us for darn near 2 days. That and the fact that cable went out early and the only TV stations you could get were local and dedicated to the storm. Highlighted by live reporters getting in harms way just for the sake of making a sensational report. These guys looked like bumbling idiots while they were literally being blown over.

My cousin is near Ocala and would call me to find out what was going on with Frances.

It was tough not having football to watch.

You joke but my cousin told me they were ready to kill each other, and the commentators talked about cabin fever.

Jim, It was tough not having football to watch.

A man can go without food for weeks and without water for days, but no football? Man, talk about 40 days in the desert! ;-)

Anyway, the hurricanes are a yearly thing, is it not? Seems like quite a bother if you're "mandatorily evacuating" every year or so. By the way, look out for #3 ...
