Stay 'safe' Ok, glad to hear you are fine and family is fine. Crops are always a gamble because of Mother Nature and her tricks she pulls off. I have see it all my life, happen time and time again.
We counted our blessings, and hoped for better another year. Although it really hit home a few times, like when parents had to pick up their children in a row boat or Hummers in Corpus Christi, Texas. And we teachers had to figure out a way home through the flooded streets. . . or leave the cars in deep water for wreckers to rescue them. Ocean side become a little too close when that happened. Or our last Christmas there on Padre Island when they closed the J.F.K. Harbour bridge and we had no power on Christmas Day...no heat and 12 inches of snow on the ground. It had not snowed for one hundred years, until then. When someone offers to rent or lease you a place to live and hands you an 38 page lease to sign...D O N ' T. You cannot win even they broke the agreement by not solving the heat problem 'cause they did not have heat either.
