Well, I think with all of the prayers and good thoughts going thier way, I think they'll be okay! Thanks for your time. 
I wonder what it's like to model by candlelight?

I hope everyone is safe and sound, by the looks of things they got hit bad in Florida. On the news this morning there may be another hurricane headed their way.

I'm BACK! After three days without power, I and my lovely wife are back in the know... or is that now?! 
I certainly do hope that our friend Animal and all others to my north are OK. We here in Ft. Lauderdale got hit pretty bad for only receiving the "tail-end" of Frances. Palm Beach county, which is about 40 miles north of us got the real brunt of it. I heart goes out to those folks.
It is nice to have A/C and hot coffee and hot showers and hot meals again.

Will chime in here and say a preyer for those in "sunny?" FA.
One thing to note, I tried calling Joe, but TMD is in Pannama City in round two of Frances.
I herd that of the 67 counties in FA, 63 were without power and this of course is probably the most reason for no phone calls.
Anyway, hope all will be ok, with just the yard work to deal with

The west coast only got hit alittle in Lakeland was destryed I heard it was alittle hairy for a bit. I live near Tampa near the beach and my power luckly wasn't affected. My cable and internet connection was out for awhile. It wasn't bad with wind but floods what got us mostly on the beach area's got like 5 feet of rain and pockets of flooding inland and near rivers.
I only have a few branches down so we were lucky, my prayers go out to the east coast they were hit bad. In the last hurricane we went to fort pierce and it felt werid to see it get hit by this one. There were a lot of people from the east coast came here to the west coast to get away.

Well I'm glad to hear from most of you, hope rest are OK. Like they said, Ivan is headed your way, so keep the plywood up, and fill up your gastanks early this time. Got a little worried, my best friend had major surgery last week and was forced to limit physical activity to include major driving. He lives in a mobile home in Mobile, Alabama. Luckily Frances took a quick up turn north instead of traveling further westward. Richmond flooded out last week which gave my ex-wife some major problems ad now Frances is headed her way. So I'm having a rough time with this one. I've been in two. In 79 flew into Charleston went to that Army post in Columbia and got caught in that one, then two weeks later got home toAlabama in time to get hit by that one.

Now if Animal and Husky and a few others would check in, I could stop pacing the floor, and get back to modelling......

Hi Dave. We are back. Got our power a few minutes ago and I couldn't wait to get to the site. I have about two hundred e-mails to answer. So I will busy with that. All of the Armorama family members who e-mailed me, I will reply to them in a few days. Now if Ivan will be a good boy and just disappear...
