Those trees

Dan, in comments, has it right. Those poor pine trees were pruned during Hurricane Wilma. The limbs became projectiles. Those limbs above the destruction level were either plaible enough to survive, or have grown since that time.

You see these poor trees everywhere. Here's one at the Pompano Beach Muni Golf Course.



Brother Bill says that scraggly pine marks the tenth green on that course and from the tee box, you can't see the green. The golfers use that scaggly tree as a golfing aid.

The ladies plan to go visit family today. Miss Reba has a great-grandbaby she's never seen and they're going to see that baby today. Brother Bill and I are headed for Bass Pro Shops. I'm needing a new holster for my Model 60. Bill isn't a shooter and the Yellow Pages ain't much help. Hopefully, someone there can put me on a nice IWB holster that I can find in the Miami area.

Thanks pawpaw, now im famous too LOL.,Good luck on the holster search, been awhile since I lived there so I wont steer you to gunshop. Just remember the Andrew Cunan shoot out. THe caretaker for the boat he was on became a holster of some local note as he carried a M60. The caretaker, his title, was of plastic and had a plug that went in the barrel. Probably the most used local holster outside LEO is the Fobus and Sidekick plastic stuff. And Remember anything south of Broward boulevard and you need extra ammo. If you hit miami gardens drive dont stop for anybody.Best to you all on your trip.

Ah yes, hurricane Wilma. One of the most intense hurricanes of all time.

Governor Jeb! took time out from criticizing Louisiana's Katrina preparation and declared a mandatory evacuation for the Florida keys. Ninety percent stayed. Contrast that with the ninety percent who successfully evacuated the New Orleans metro area for Katrina.

Wilma lost strength and didn't plow into the keys-- which would have catastrophically flooded the islands and stranded the survivors. That's why Governor Jeb! was a great leader.
