Maybe put the toupee' on Velcro? That would work for a convertible too? Best move to higher ground though? Florida is going to get washed away sometime soon...or fall into a sink hole?

Funny you should mention that, sinkhole occur up N Florida. Down south you are correct in the next 20/30 years it certainly will be different

But let's get back to todays weather currently 83 where I am at

62 clear and sunny. It's been sunny and mid '60s all week. Nice crisp fall type air. The cars love this kind of weather and run noticeably crisper.

After attempting to work with water injection, I came to the conclusion that more water vapor in the air, i.e., higher humidity, reduces the amount of oxygen to the fuel mixture and you loose power. Quite a bit.

Florida humidity doesn't help anything and acts almost like water injection.

The NHRA drag racers would always talk about "bad air" at the New Orleans Nationals.

Malaria. Italian for bad air.

There is more then something to it.

Our version of sink holes are huge pot holes that appear on elevated highways.

One just happened on the Queens BQE last week.


Many years ago I saw a VW Bug fall through the pavement at the north 125st exit on the West Side Highway.

As a teen I learned to reconnoiter the situation as much as possible. Things still can appear like Viet Cong booby traps.


You can't be a tourist here walking around staring at the tall buildings. You'll never make it out alive. You are just "sheep amongst the wolves", as in "behold, I send you out as sheep amongst the wolves".

Definitely something to advise newbies here about.  ;)

37F here with cloudy skies.  Good weather for walking. Lots of Autumn leaves carpeting the streets and sidewalks.  My favorite time of year.

The leaves are only beautiful because you don't have to pick them up and bag them.

By the time I'm done, there will be about 100 bags of them. I can stack those up to make a beautiful display of bags. Hum. Sure. ::)

Actually I do have to pick them up and bag them.  I am surrounded by deciduous trees though only a conifer grows on my property.  I put a positive spin on it since raking and bagging leaves is an activity that burns calories and exercises various muscles and therefore makes me stronger for it.  I grumble a bit at the beginning, but once I start, it's all good.

You do realize that 100 bags will fill a 20 yard dumpster right?

80s here.  No leaves to rake up.  Only a mild volcano to keep an eye on and waiting for the big surf to roll in. 8)

Fire is the great cleanser I always say.

The Fire Department doesn't have subpoena power here, they just write you a ticket with a hefty fine. No need for a grand jury. You are guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

There are spots where you actual can witness  four hurricane blowers all full throttle at the same time and the combination is so loud you can't hear the emergency vehicles.

Flushing Meadows Park in Queens, behind where Citi Field is located (Mets) as well as Arthur Ashe Stadium (tennis) was once a huge pit. It was filled with NYC leaves. 893 acres of them.

It was also the local of the 1939 and 1964 World's Fair where I first saw the '65 Mustang.

Although there are lots of scenic fall views now the nice "country roads" are often very slick with wet leaves and your W rated tires aren't designed for them and will resign even simple corners.

Design a mulching pit?  Sounds like too many leaves for such a pit to accommodate.
