I keep learning new things about hurricanes. It rains a bunch so they leave behind plenty of pools of stagnant water. Now we have hundreds, no thousands, well actually millions of mosquitoes. They are breeding and feeding. I think that is the only two functions they have. Lily, Rose and I try to walk a walk a minimum of five miles. If we tried that today we would probably leave in good health and return home anemic. It is a challenge to walk to the corner and back. The round trip is almost exactly a half mile. We were out just before dusk and it looked like a cloud swarming around us. Rose and Lily were even trying to hurry back home.
What do I miss from Northlandia?
Palms, pines and southern live oaks here so zero fall color. We have river birch in our yard but hurricane Matthew basically striped the leaves off them.
One of the trucks going around Tybee Island picking up yard waste. The truck and trailer are separated by a crane claw that picks up whatever limbs and other yard waste piled along the road. Progress is slow but they are getting the job done.
This one is for you Mr. Blythe.
It has been parked near the Doctor office where Carol goes the last two times we went. It appears to be some car lovers everyday transportation. It is a Studebaker President.
Lily says good girls can get away with this too.
Nice Stude. While they were around you could always count on Studebaker looking like nothing else on the road. That is a beautiful car and what fun it must be to have a driver like that.
