Re: Jim

Jim, What happens to the paycheck when all this is going on, if I may ask?
Not just yours and Ms Fatma's, but a lot of people down there.  It can't be
"business as usual".  There must be normal workdays when people can't get in
to work or their place of work has floated away.  You mentioned your company
working overtime on cleanup for some of your clients earlier and right now
it's a holiday weekend so you woudn't have been working anyway, but I can't
help but feel anxious for people about these difficulties.

From all the pictures you've posted and the beautiful plants you've talked
about, it sounds like paradise, but I just don't think I could deal with
your hurricane season.
