Went west Sunday (150 miles on I-10 to Crestview FL). Moderate traffic on I-10.

Visited USAF Armaments Museum at Eglin. Small museum, but enjoyable and interesting. The M1 carbine on display has the operating-rod handle broken off! The M2 and M3 carbines, on the other hand, are intact.

Drove back Monday, more traffic, sometimes very slow but always moving. I passed hundreds of huge bucket trucks convoying into Florida from as far away as North Carolina, probably coming straight from Texas without going home. Those guys are heroes.

Irma had broken one (one!) tree limb off its tree, no damage to any RV or anything else that I could see, but considerable mess to rake up. The power didn't even go out, although Internet was down until just a few minutes ago. The food in my freezer is still frozen, and I had a nice lunch at home.

All's well.
