What passes for discussion in 2016

[RSL]

Back yesterday from St. Augustine -- in time to get to the outer edge of hurricane Matthew instead of near the center. Not a great trip from the standpoint of photography. The St. George hotel was nearly vacant. Too many scary warnings. Few people on the street. Restaurants normally open and rowdy closed and depressing. Here's one from St. George street. Not much ambiguity.

What's rare these days is that the two guys on our right are actually sharing something on one phone, and not just texting to each other.

I hope you and your home get through Matthew unscathed.

I second that wish!

But hey, after Matt there will be Mark etc. etc. 'tis written somewhere in the book of geography.

Right, Rob, and surely Luke and John.

Remember when we always used to name hurricanes with women's names? Then the PC left became hilariously exercised about that, and now we alternate. But if I were a member of the PC left I'd not be satisfied with that. I'd want all our hurricanes to be named with men's names until we've evened out the count. The stuff the PC folks come up with is a laugh a minute.

And thanks for the good wishes from you and Eric. Looks as if we're far enough inland that unless the thing changes course and heads for us we'll be okay. It's pretty windy out there at the moment though.
