We saw New York and London - quite sobering.

4. My insurnace co. is a national one

and I was pleasantly surprised that the rate did not go up, after all of last year's hurricanes and, of course, there were fires in CA last year, too. Keeping my fingers crossed but this is the nature of insurance, we all pay for the needs of the others.

What bugs me is that many houses in Houston were built again and again with FEMA keep paying.

5. We've all heard of climate refugees. Well, there will be climate refugees within the US.

I doubt Miami will exist 50 years from now.

7. Could not help it: they talked about Miami and I was wondering about Margaret Lago

Would be nice if his Taj Mahal would float away, with him on it waving his hat, they way it ended in Dr. Strangelove.

Oh, wake up. Nice dream though.
