Friday, 30 September Woke to bright blue skies, sunshine and a cool breeze; after breakfast, Neal & I cut up the small bit of bamboo to be taken away by Lee, our lawn guy, when he finally can get back to work . . . Compare this to 2017's Hurricane Irma, when Pinellas County sent trucks all through the streets . . . . . . to pick up detritus, haul it to an acreage not far from us, and then spent weeks mulching it . . . This time, we were notified that "You're on your own, folks.". Your tax dollars [not] at work. Garbage pickup has been suspended, too; the companies may be sending their trucks and personnel to areas that have to be cleaned up. WHERE is all that going to go??? Neal spent the rest of the day power-washing the screen house, the safety fence around the pool, and all the pavers, taking off a year's worth of pollen and moss. Badly needed. I'm hoping we can put the lanai couches back in place tomorrow; I miss sitting out in the sun. The plant cart IS in the sun. SOME COMICS' COMMENTARY ON HURRICANES: This one explains why you don't see anything in the news about the non-devastated areas of Florida, like Palm Harbor . . . Thus endeth our hurricane adventure; time to bake some Key Lime Cream Cheese cookies. Thanks for watching!
