We heard that 4 houses at Gulf Trace were condemned because of Arlene damage due to septic tank issues. Is that true?

Thanks Kurt! That pic seriously helped make my day. Where was it taken?

What do you mean? I am sitting on the Beach using my wireless.
(just kidding, but that would be nice, eh?) I definitely cannot see the Beach from my window, but I am much closer than Montgomery.

Think I'll set up my wireless this weekend so I can surf the 'Net at the beach. If you're wardriving, don't try to look for "phdphay" or something involving Gators or food or restaurants. LOL.

Lordy, look at all that crapola and people on the beach! And look at all the gosh darn tents! That's not 'needed stuff', that's just sh...! Calming down a bit now - I guess it's been a long time since I actually went to a 'popular' beach. I've been spoiled with the multitude of boat-access-only areas and the controlled park beaches. No litter and no junk! There's this one little cresent-shaped white sand beach surrounded entirely by marshes and seedling palms that comes to mind. Completely unapproachable by land, it's as natural as it is beautiful. Mmmmm. Nope, I wouldn't exchange a sewage lagoon for ten miles of that crowded, crap covered, ownership righted, tire-tracked, fenced, scraped, walkovered bs. They can have it!!! I'm going to stick with the beach below.

BTW, a lot of the sand washed down to Pensacola - they had 10 feet high extra in one place alone. Bet they won't give it back either. Perhaps each county could spend millions dye-ing their particular sand so it becomes clear who's it is.

Here is a shot of my cup of tea:
