Well at least it shouldn't hit here directly. I'm still trying to get my AC and clothes washer fixed. Irma, Ian and Helene didn't do anything to them but Milton managed to screw them both up.

I hope they are fixed soon.

Well the washer will come before the AC. The temps have moderated since Milton. I've acclimated so low 80s feels good and the fans work nicely to keep things comfortable. Still need to get a car.

What kind of car?

My brother wants to sell me his two year old RAV4 but I'm not sure I can handle the insurance rates on it as mine are going to go up after this accident. He wants to keep it in the family as it was his late wife's so the price is significantly under market value. I'm also thinking of a slightly older Ford Fusion (nonhybrid) which I'd had one once before and loved. Only took me 2 1/2 tanks of gas from Michigan to Punta Gorda so great gas mileage without being a hybrid..

Sounds like a great car!! The good news is gas prices have been going down.

It was, I miss it still. Fortunately gas prices don't impact me as much as it did when I lived in Michigan as everything I need or want is within about an 8 mile radius. I generally go at least 4 weeks and often as much as 6 to 8 weeks without needing to fill the tank again.
