Hi Pete and Mary,

I am sorry to hear the hurricane is so near Pensacola.

Here is the web site I use for tracking; it has great maps and diagrams.

Thanks for the web site Bob.

Here's what Sue wrote to me a few hours ago.

Mary spoke to her & said she and Manfred are planning to be in a room with no windows in their home.

Pete at 2:30. 7/10

Hello to all,

Just want to give you some phone numbers in case we lose power/land line phone service due to Hurricane Dennis. It is still too early to tell exactly where he'll hit, but we are in a high probability area now. They were originally predicting a CAT 4 storm, but it looks like he may come in as a 3 now, which is 'better' news. Gretchen and Justin evacuated with the kids yesterday; they are staying in Tallahassee (may not be a real good place to be either). Manfred and I are going to ride it out here. We've secured the house and exterior buildings. Our neighbor across the street is going to give us one of his walkie talkies so we'll be able to talk with him back and forth......

We'll contact one of you as soon as the storm blows over to let you know we are okay.

Love you all...Sue & Manfred

Thanks for keeping us informed Sue.

Sounds like it could hit tomorrow as a category 4 storm.

We're glad mom is safely in Wichita, and Gretchen and all are in Tallahassee.

Keep safe, and we'll say an extra prayer for you.

Pete

Thanks, we are going to need it. Heard this am it is a high CAT 4, could possibly upgrade to a 5 before it hits. We are right in the path once again. We DON'T want to be on the east side of the storm like we were last time, that is the absolute worst place to be. Glad my children and grandchildren are safe!

Sue & Manfred

But here is the wind forecast for Sunday

>If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, "Who's on first?" might have turned out something like this: COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM ABBOTT...

>ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?

>COSTELLO: Thanks. I'm setting up an office in my den and I'm thinking about buying a computer.

>ABBOTT: Mac?

>COSTELLO: No, the name's Lou.

>ABBOTT: Your computer?

>COSTELLO: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.

>ABBOTT: Mac?

>COSTELLO: I told you, my name's Lou.

>ABBOTT: What about Windows?

>COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?

>ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?

>COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look at the windows?

>ABBOTT: Wallpaper.

>COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.

>ABBOTT: Software for Windows?

>COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write proposals, track expenses and run my business. What do you have?

>ABBOTT: Office.

>COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?

>ABBOTT: I just did.

>COSTELLO: You just did what?

>ABBOTT: Recommend something.

>COSTELLO: You recommended something?

>ABBOTT: Yes.

>COSTELLO: For my office?

>ABBOTT: Yes.

>COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office?

>ABBOTT: Office.

>COSTELLO: Yes, for my office!

>ABBOTT: I recommend Office with Windows.

>COSTELLO: I already have an office with windows! OK, let's just say I'm sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need?

>ABBOTT: Word.

>COSTELLO: What word?

>ABBOTT: Word in Office.

>COSTELLO: The only word in office is office.

>ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.

>COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows?

>ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue "W".

>COSTELLO: I'm going to click your blue "w" if you don't start with some straight answers. OK, forget that. Can I watch movies on the Internet?

>ABBOTT: Yes, you want Real One.

>COSTELLO: Maybe a real one, maybe a cartoon. What I watch is none of your business. Just tell me what I need!

>ABBOTT: Real One.

>COSTELLO: If it's a long movie, I also want to watch reels 2, 3 and 4. Can I watch them?

>ABBOTT: Of course.

>COSTELLO: Great! With what?

>ABBOTT: Real One.

>COSTELLO: OK, I'm at my computer and I want to watch a movie. What do I do?

>ABBOTT: You click the blue "1".

>COSTELLO: I click the blue one what?

>ABBOTT: The blue "1".

>COSTELLO: Is that different from the blue w?

>ABBOTT: The blue "1" is Real One and the blue "W" is Word.

>COSTELLO: What word?

>ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.

>COSTELLO: But there are three words in "office for windows"!

>ABBOTT: No, just one. But it's the most popular Word in the world.

>COSTELLO: It is?

>ABBOTT: Yes, but to be fair, there aren't many other Words left. It pretty much wiped out all the other Words out there.

>COSTELLO: And that word is real one?

>ABBOTT: Real One has nothing to do with Word. Real One isn't even part of Office.

>COSTELLO: STOP! Don't start that again. What about financial bookkeeping? You have anything I can track my money with?

>ABBOTT: Money.

>COSTELLO: That's right. What do you have?

>ABBOTT: Money.

>COSTELLO: I need money to track my money?

>ABBOTT: It comes bundled with your computer.

>COSTELLO: What's bundled with my computer?

>ABBOTT: Money.

>COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer?

>ABBOTT: Yes. No extra charge.

>COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much?

>ABBOTT: One copy.

>COSTELLO: Isn't it illegal to copy money?

>ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.

>COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money?

>ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT!

>(A few days later...)

>ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?

>COSTELLO: How do I turn my computer off?

>ABBOTT: Click on "START".
