Happy birthday Gingersnow. I vaguely remember 46. I wish I had stopped drinking then but after 10 years of sobriety I started drinking again in 2003 at 43. Took me until 10/2/22 at the age of 62 to get “ashore”. Stay strong and just don’t drink now. Embrace the freedom that sobriety offers. I doubt you’ll regret it.
I am north of Fort Myers, flew into RSW last night, in Englewood/Placida area. 10 miles north of Cayo Costa, where Ian made landfall. Property survived very well compared to down by you. Being on the north side of the storm was crucial to not being affected by the storm surge.
