Right now I'm surviving on the Mexican taco truck on the island, which is delicious and better than a lot of the restaurants. I paid for a years membership since I know Trinity will pay it forward.

Is the Pine Island Pool Open? Things are back to normal where I am, but I still have not made the drive to check on the pool yet. I want to go check on it, but I've seen enough destruction already, so I didn't make the drive even though I am just a few minutes away. It is interesting how the Island and Matlache were just begging to get popular and now it's time to start all over. I want to say that sucks, but it's probably good. The entire area is much to populated for me these days. Happy House Sitting! |

There is one quarter of the usual amount of people here, so it is unbelievably quiet. I haven't slept this well night after night that I can remember. I slept right through the Rooster crowing this morning. It's time fo me to get far out of the city. Tomfoolery |

It's a 6 week job. This part of the Island did not flood, it got wind damage, but many newer trailers survived. The older ones were blown out by wind. Quoting: Feathery If you're wondering it's basically just piles of junk waiting to be picked up everywhere. Massive amounts of trees gone and wind prunned, but a lot of it was dead wood in wild forest areas. Pine Island is a Tree nursery so it should recover quickly. This is what I hope to do as a "senior" for "retirement" . Rather than own condos and trailers, I'll house sit. I may try do a house/pet sit over seas. I'm looking for about 6 regular clients, each that wants about a one month to 6 week sit. Next is unloading the rest of what I own. One by one the bucket list gets kicked. i had friends who had 30 acres on Pine Island. used to go over all the time from ft laud. haven't spoken to them in years i hope they did alright but their place was right on the bay so i have my doubts. driving through matlache was like going back in time. loved the BBQ joint on the island that served fried green tomatoes. the gate to their property was a stones throw from the little post office. so sad.
