Forget Gold; Invest in Water<\/em><\/p>\n

I started blogging about Irma, but I have been too busy to stick to it.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure it would be possible for a major hurricane to hit Miami at a worse time for me. We still have property there, and I am trying to sell my dad’s boat, which he keeps in the water, not in a big safe building.<\/p>\n

Even in Ocala, which is extremely unlikely to have any major problems, the hurricane-crazy bug has bitten. I had to wait in line for 15 minutes to get gas today, and it looks like bottled water and batteries are unavailable. When I got to the gas station, some guy was putting 80 gallons in an RV, and other people were filling gas cans as well as their vehicles. Not sure if I should be angry about that.<\/p>\n

I learned one useful thing: diesel doesn’t sell out like gas. Unfortunately, my diesel truck’s tailgate decided never to latch again as soon as I got here. I am trying to fix it. I may have to remove it. That will be fun, with no help.<\/p>\n

In case anyone wants to help, here is what I’m praying for: I’m asking God to break Irma up and send it straight north, and for him to keep it away from the US.<\/p>\n

Things could be worse. I could be in Miami. <\/p>\n

Thanks for whatever prayers you are willing to offer.<\/p>\n

By the way, people are price-gouging in Miami. What a great time to load up on bottled water and rip off your neighbors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
