Forecast: clear and sunny

It's nice to know where things are:

-- Tuesday's storm, having dropped even more of its load on Cuba, is finally passing that island's eastern edge.

-- Ref and Brantley are back on the project, after taking a few days off to get other projects in order.

-- The pool guys will get to work next week, first laying out and then digging and then twisting rebar and then pouring. Or at least they say we're on their schedule for next week; I'd been expecting something this week.

-- And the big yellow hibiscus are back, battling for space amid the immense tree-climbing plant around Steve's door to the deck that nobody can identify.

All in all, good news.
