Nothing has changed
40 years ago this weekend I was standing in the middle of the spare bedroom trying to figure out how to protect my stamp collection from Hurricane David.
This weekend I am standing in "the office" trying to figure the best way to protect my HipStamp stock from Hurricane Dorian.
It makes me feel young again.
Between David and Dorian I have weathered too many Tropical Storms and Hurricanes to remember, each time wondering what to do with the stamps. I'm still not sure. The only thing is I'm more philosophical about it all and can usually get ready (7 gallons of water, canned food, solar charger for the phone and tablet, towels, First Aid kit and a clean porch) in a day or so. I pray for my fellow Floridians as I prayed for Puerto Rico and the islands. I especially worry about my fellow dealers in the area and my nearby customers. My house has survived more hurricanes than I, so I feel safe.
Sunday and Monday will be fun time - I'll see you all on the other side.

PS My store will be "on vacation" from sunday until the power comes back on.

Be careful my Florida friends and please check in when you can.

As far as the stamp, Wayne, you have sparked a thought, I'll just move them into the closet across from the window. Good idea, thanks
I always wonder why there is a run on plywood every time one of these damned storms approach. What the hell did everyone do with the plywood they bought from the storm before??
Also George, there are new people and new houses daily in South Florida. They require new plywood and then have no place to store it in their $300,000 houses so they make bookshelves for the kids.
Lots of rain coming to my house and ("they" say) 50+ MPH winds. I'll be on the porch - stop on by got 3 chairs...no waiting!
Must go into work tomorrow, yuck yuck and double yuck! The stores are very empty today I can just imagine how empty they will be tomorrow.
So much for feeling the effects of the outer bands! Bahamas are getting pounded. My work is closed today and tomorrow and at the rate this thing isn't moving they should think about closing on Wednesday, too.
Time to go outside and see the misting rain.
Luree is getting a little rain, I suppose. I'm west of her and the sun is out! Problem is it can only
get worse. Waiting for the 40-50 mph winds tonight and tomorrow. Then the sun will be out soon after when the storm takes off north (we hope and pray).
