Much like what was really happening on the island. Rain, wind, close to zero visibility, etc. And it was in the same time frame. Am I controlling the weather on your island with my flight simulator? Cue music! What’s interesting is that I did a series of landings in Friday Harbor with very unrealistic settings on the simulator. Much like what was really happening on the island.

I preferred it when the sun appeared. Your music isn't exactly "La Mer", but I liked it. We talked about you at the last Mu Phi meeting and we miss you. Love, Spaffy P.S. I'm playing a program of Brazilian music Thurs. What a wild coastline !

I keep reminding myself that this house is, indeed, still standing.

How great, loved the sliding door rattle. So, how high does the water get at your house? Was that the most you get or does that spit of land you're on get under water? Nice!
