I remember it was terrible hurricane but, the phone line is downi and the electricity is down. So it was nowhere else to go there. I remember the tree is broken and many kind of stuff. We won't go back to Florida for a long time. Arizona is much more comfortable for me. There is no Hurricane in PHX. IT is so much safer for me. It was too much damaged in FLL/MIA side. That's why we didn't like it in South Florida at all. I am being too tired of them. It has too much bad severe weather, rains, thunderstorm all of the time for everyday.
I lived in S. FL for over nine years and I will take a hurricane any day opposed to a tornado. One is given plenty of warning before a hurricane arrives whereas with a tornado there may be no warning.

If you have a living will and it say no artificial life support, and you have a pacemaker ensure your living will states to turn the pacemaker off. It might save a day or two of agony and suffering for the family and friends.

That said, since I haven't bumped The Lounge in a while, let me start a Conga Line instead.

It's a mess after they installed the new pond
How many days does it take you to mow the expansive lawn you have at the mansion?

Wayne Huizenga owned Pier 66 which might explain why no bottle in the room.

Probably like the painters of the Golden Gate Bridge. Once he gets to the end, it is time to start all over again.

jfe installed an automatic lawn mowing system last year. Here is a photo taken from his front curb. This version is for monitor:



And this version is for those with larger monitors than monitor.

Edit the photo MikeMpls in order to fit it into standard width. Right now it is stretching the page too wide for comfortable browsing.

You need a better monitor (pardon the expression ) so as to better appreciate the vast expanse of jfe's estate. If I can find it again, I will subsitute the thumbnail so as not overwhelm the lesser monitors of the world.

I realize that it is no problem for MikeMpls sitting at his desk with multiple wide screens but he needs to remember that this is a traveler's forum and some of us actually do travel during the week.

I refuse to travel with one of those humongous laptops favored by the IFE fiends who need that huge screen in lieu of opening a book or magazine.

Just a run-of-the-mill Dell M4300 workstation, never used for IFE. I usually read a book or nap.

Now jfe is going to look at that tiny picture and insist that he has no vast estate, for the simple reason that no photo of a vast estate could possibly be so small.

In the front right corner of the picture you'll notice one sheep that appears to be much more alert than the others. This is jfe's Head of Security, disguised as a sheep.

It makes no difference vis-a-vis jfe no matter the size of the photo that you post. He will deny having a mansion with expansive grounds no matter what so you should not take him into account.

That's true. If jfe ever admitted to having such a vast estate (as clearly he does), Canarsie would probably close this thread.

I'll continue the trend of asking what the Plat Extra will be before forking over the certificate.

Let's not exaggerate. There are larger ones, even in his home state of Texas. I understand, for example, that the King Ranch has several more acres than does jfe.
