Yep, it's me. We have finally (I hope) settled in the Ozarks in
Missouri. I'm happy here. We have some acreage and a nice big
"pond" (Ok, so it's more than an acre and has an island in it) and
plenty of room for the doggies to run. I've got a small garden this
year, about enough to use fresh but not enough to put anything by.
That is for next year.

Took me a long time to find a newsfeed out here. I finally gave up
and am using Google Groups.

Chuck is doing well at a nice large hospital here. Seems like he'll
start working directly with the ambulance crews and the helicopter
folks pretty soon so he's in heaven. LOL.

I saw your post on the hurricane. Damn, seems like anyone down there
has the drill down pat these days. We do too even though we left
after Rita. Folks around here are amazed at the stuff we seem to have
- generator, emergency supplies, food, water, even emergency stuff for
the dogs and cats. Sad thing is we've used them up here too when we
were in St Louis and they had 4 weeks that year without electricity
due to storms in the summer and ice in the winter.

How are the little dog and the wife doing? Heck, how are YOU
doing????
