We survived. It's been 9 1/2 days with no power or running water but all is well. I'll post a more detailed account tomorrow.

Sure looks like Ivan is moving more to the west.....I am only 70 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. However, I will say, that you Floridians have had enough!
Glad to hear that you and your wife are doing ok.

hey Kip,
Tell Judy to keep peddling and let us know what's happening. Tried calling, but couldn't get thru. Guess your phone lines were down too.
I agree with Leesa -- give Judy a cigarette -- she probably needs one about now.
Big hugs coming from Texas. Ya know I love you both.
Hugs BD
