I wish I could be there. Should I ask Dad to go see him? :evilgrin:
I would.

Nothing but swamp and a few decent island locales out there, lived there for a bit.

2. A friend emailed me from Ft. Myers and said they were already |

camping out to get tickets beginning this afternoon.
There's a lot of unemployed and a lot of foreclosures.

4. I should ask my bankrupt, formerly GOP sister if she's going. |
|
Seriously, she declared bankruptcy a little over one year ago. Her $525,000 house was sold by the bank in December for $219,000. She had more equity in it than that, but the bank wouldn't refinance.
She's in real estate and, of course, the market was slow in 2006 and crashed in 2007.
She's just hanging on these days.
