Last night we heard a loud bang and when we went to look, a tree had blown down. Could be much worse. The only damage to the house was one end of a gutter which had ripped off a small area of the fascia board behind.

Just had the repair quote in - A shade over $2600! Fortunately it's not our tree, so it won't be our insurance paying for it.

Friend of mine keeps a boat in Quintana, Texas.
Following hurricane katrina his boat(35footer)was found in a garden a quarter of a mile inland.

Nope!

It's a lease car my wife has through her work, due to go back in a couple of months. Not that we'll be sorry to see it go - I've driven it a few times and don't know why so many people seem to rave about them. Horrible thing to drive.
