So, we had a quote of $2500 for flood insurance on Argo.  That was a few days again.  Then they called back and said they were in error and it is actually $30000.00.   lol  Are you kidding me?  We can self insure for less than that!  Needless to say we are calling around to get other quotes.  The guy that owns them now says he is not paying anywhere near that.  So something doesn’t pass the sniff test.

  McCracken County has a new OEM Director.  Hope he is interested in weather!  Going to meet him tonight.

  Markets are down down down.  Almost 3500 points since a year ago.  No surprise.  I figured the bottom would be 9000-10000.  Said that about a year ago and still believe it to be the case.  Much lower than that is possible, though.  Rough markets.  But, it always gets better and I am sure 10 years from now we will be talking about a DOW of 17000-19000. 

  Word is that Don will be finished with the blueprints next week.  I say "finished" in loose terms.  This might get us what we need to start the footprint. 

  Packing for California.  Leaving in the morning…early flight.  Should be in California by 11 AM.
