Just wanted to say hello to everybody. I stumbled upon this site the night of Katrina. I was looking for any status reports on the beaches in South Walton. I found that and more right here and I thank you.
The reason I was worried is because I own three lots in the area. The first one is the lot across the street from the Oyster Lake outlet with the O'brien real estate sign on it (I hope it didn't get washed out. I saw the pictures were 30-A was undermined.). I'm a little worried right about now. I know it is a low lot but it's got great views and is across the street from the beach which I love. I had the big hole filled-in it had on it about two weeks ago to try to level the lot out a little bit. I was going to build a house on it at first and even bought the plans but then the realtor showed me another lot on Oyster Lake. If you are on 30-A and look across the lake, it's the one next to the condos. It had a "For Sale" banner on it tied to some trees. The banner may be gone after Katrina. I don't know. My third lot is over in Driftwood Estates behind the new gate on the Choctawhatchee Bay. I can't keep them all. I have to sell at least two of them. Which ever one is left, I'll probably build that house.
Anyway, I just wanted to say hey and say thank you guys for posting the pictures. I've read most of the threads and you guys seem to be a pretty good lot. 🙂
Take care and me and the wife will keep praying for the folks to the west.

Robert, it doesn't look like your dirt on 30-A even got wet. Oyster Lake is at a normal level to maybe 6" higher.

Robert,
Have you ever owned a red Porsche 944? If so, are you a dentist? If so, I know who you are. ;-)

Robert,HA! My cover is blown! Naa kidding.

No, I never owned a Porsche but my dad did and it was red. And guess what, he is a dentist! 🙂 Hmm, I wonder if it is the same person. So you have some Athens, GA linkages? It is a small world. I hope he was on good behavior.😱

Ha! I didn't know he (Dr W___) had a son. I lived in Athens for a while, and your pops was always the nicest man to me and those around me. My last memory of him, before I moved, was that he was heavily in love with his new bride. She also seems like a sweetheart. In a round about way, I worked for your Dad and some other folks. Tell him Hi for me.

That's wild isn't it? Yeah, he has a bouncing baby boy that just happens to have had his 40th birthday last July. 🙂 Me!
He is a good man and still in love. He has been remarried now for 10 years so I guess it has been a while since you have seen him. The update is that he sold his practice and started a new business called Dental Sleep Medicine. He helps people that have sleep disorders such as snoring and sleep apnea. He makes a little appliance for your mouth that keeps your throat open while sleeping. There is more to it than that but I don't know all the details.
If you will PM me with your info, I would be glad to pass it along. He dropped by the house today and I was telling him about this great site I found. 🙂 Funny how things work.

You ought to see SJ do some cipherin' at a closing table, especially when he carries the one. And the gozintas, my gosh, the gozintas are a special treat (4 gozinta 8 = 2 times; 3 gozinta 9 = 3 times...).
Truly priceless! :bow:

I figured that since I did all of that hard work for LandLocked, and he rejected it, I may as well use it for a few weeks. Just kidding. You know I change my avatar daily.;-)
