Hurricanes and floods

Just watching the ongoing consequences of Hurricane Harvey a few days after the anniversary of Andrew and I feel especially terrible for those people. My parent's home in Coconut Grove was flooded only a few inches but enough to deposit several inches of bay bottom everywhere on everything. I still recall paying some opportunist with a chain saw $1,200 for a single cut to get the weight on an oak off the roof....and Mom, mopping the floors for weeks to try to get the mud out.....a small shark in my friend's conversation pit near US #1 in Pinecrest (hit by a microburst ---yes, a Sharknado),....my place with no phone and surrounded by fallen trees for  weeks in the heart of Coral Gables....too many reports from reliable people I know of bodies (of unidentified farmworkers and looters piled into refrigerated trailers in Homestead...etc. ) My heart goes out to those affected in Texas. This will all have ramifications on the market--- fuel, certain stocks--- etc. I won't profit from it myself. It hits too close to home.But I judge no-one who does.  To any Opkonians in that area, hope that you are safe.

Here in Miami our house has had an unprecedented incidence of snakes, frogs and last nite...a land crab....unimaginable where I live --- all from a lesser storm system. Just a reminder. We can play with things like stocks.....but the important stuff may be happening before our eyes-- we just have to look.
Sunday morning musings--- over.    GL to all of good will, Miami
