We need a couple here (like in 2004). All of the lakes are way down.

Hey nc, my two friends are on their way to one of them's farm, right by you. They left today. They are right across the sound from you in Washington County.

[ncboman]

I could show you a big ol bear. :)

absolutely no way. They are retired, I am not. I am booked up for now. This heat is good business. I spent $400 on licenses for that other parish (county) and $200 on some other misc. fees here. John Deere truck knocked my mirror off and dented the door. They paid 500- just got it back from body & fender- cost 560. Bought new F150 08 model with only 249 miles for 15K. The 92 F150 is gone today for 2K ( nice paint job). More calls- got to go. Bye,.

As of this morning 'Bill' is the big one out there.

The local weather wizards are saying it will likely turn north and not hit the US.

I doan know about that. :rolleyes:

pretty good report on the season so far and the newly named tropical storm 'Erika'.

Erika may just bring you the rain we need. They've got her going into the East Coast and possibly remaining a Tropical storm the whole way.

We sure doan need any more rain. We had one of the wettest Aug on record ... something like 17" of rain locally for the month. :o

[Alan R McDaniel Jr]

OK, we'll take it.
