Wow, what a month. My friend Tommy Grueskin came down to Myrtle Beach
for my birthday, and then all hell broke loose. Or should I say, Floyd
broke loose. First there was Hurricane Dennis, but Dennis was nothing
compared to Floyd. They called for a mandatory evacuation of Myrtle
Beach as forecasters predicted that they eye would pass directly over
Myrtle Beach. All banks and grocery stores were closed, buildings
were boarded up, and lines of cars were backed up for miles on the
city's major east-west thoroughfares.
So I bolted to Charlotte for an evening, and showed up in Chicago
to visit with some old friends attending a huge charity event put
on by our good friends on VisionTek. Anyways, I'm glad that Floyd
has gone, but the flooding in North Carolina is some of the worst
I have seen.
