ATM I'm about an hour from the Eye of Ike. It is getting wild and wooly out there. I went out to check my car after hearing a very loud report and things are typical for a mild 'cane. Up where you live, it should be a bit calmer. But as we all know, hurricanes are quite unpredictable, so you should expect some minor wind damage. I wouldn't worry much about anything greater. I'm waiting for a 30' palm tree to come down. It is showing some signs of being a candidate.<G> xponent Blow Ye Winds Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
