Every feeder band has a silver lining

Truly it has been said that into each life a few feet of rain must fall. Also, some trees. And most of your neighbor's garage.

But, while the devastation of receiving three hurricanes in a row is, frankly, devastating, still I've learned a few things about myself and this wonderful world we live in.

-- I have finally satisfied my life-long curiosity about what the roots of a 300-year-old oak look like.

(Note: Haven't managed a column in a few weeks, what with the primary election and the hurricanes and all, so I did a mid-week column for the heck of it.)

Very funny, Chris!! Glad you made it through the double whammy okay, and hope Ivan stays far away!

Our power was restored tonight, making it a solid week without power. Now we get to deal with a musty house, a moldy refrigerator, and a yard literally full of tree debris left by the work crew.

And I find I don't mind a bit. Amazing how air conditioning can restore your focus.
