A brief update with pics

For those who missed my uber-informative pulse comment yesterday, yes, I am still alive and kicking. I just haven't been able to get far enough down my list of priorities to do any blogging as of late. That appears to…
Tropical storms in Arkansas?!?!?

When I lived right near the beach in south Florida, having to deal with hurricanes and tropical storms was just a part of life that I learned to deal with. Actually, they didn't really worry or scare me at all. Even a…
