Timing is everything.

I was thinking the other day about our situation down here and it turned comical. So I’ll share.

1 The year we move to the keys just so happens to be the worst year in history for hurricanes in the keys.

2 When we need to drive 30 miles to work everyday the gas prices are at an all tine high and it is the first time we have ever lived in a place where the gas is WAY above the National Average.

3 Our first house was purchased at the all time high for property and homes in the keys. It’s still going down.

4 The first time in my life I have ever wanted to plant anything and now that I’m trying to grow 9 palm trees and 5 Hawaiian vines, the keys are experiencing the worst drought in history. Normal is 10.35” we are at 0.72”. I used to have 6 Hawaiian vines.

5 I always thought it would be cool to work at a place that really understands the benefits of technology. My job just gave me a really NICE Tablet PC, which is great! But I really don’t like my job.

6 It’s the first year for house insurance for us and the insurance company is talking about raising the rates from $2,000 to $8,000 in some cases.

7 Last but not least. I finally invest in the future with nanotechnology and I lose 20% of the investment in 2 months. I literally bought at the peak of a 5 year history. I knew it would be a rough ride at first, but that’s a 10ft. cliff before you even crank up the motor.

That’s all I can remember this morning. I’m sure everybody has similar situations in their life and as soon as you learn how to laugh at them, the better off you’ll be.

We did protest the gas prices yesterday!

I vaguely remember an email that suggested if everybody just runs out of gas on May 12th and sits on the side of the road in protest, it would get everybody’s attention. If half the people in the U.S. did it, all commerce would stop and gas companies would get hit HARD.

I think I’m the only one who didn’t chicken out.

All well, I tried. Until people get serious about it nothing is going to change.

That is about it. School is about over and hurricane season is about here. Please pray that both of us can draw closer to God in a peaceful time of no stress or conflict with insane teenagers.
