  1. If you have any available, could you put us on the list for one please? Just got back from the bash of the century at GW3 and it got us thinking about coin collecting! LOL
  2. Just finally getting some comp time for a bit this afternoon! Glad to hear everyone is ok. Of course, those that know us know that we live in Punta Gorda, and it is far from pretty here! Lots do do for months to come, but we will over-come! Thanks to all for your concern and well wishes, plus all the requests and emails to help us. The main thing that is getting us now is the dehydration, lack of power and water, and lack of communication. But if you could all see the thousands that have flooded into our area from police, fire, EMS, Electric, Red Cross, National Guard, etc, the place doesn't even look the same as it did on Saturday! We have been very, very lucky! Only a few reported deaths, and that is the most heart warming and amazing news thus far! As far as changing codes on buildings and the like....well...as Doc Dean mentioned, what exactly would you think would survive the 180 mile per hour winds we had on Friday? Luckily BECAUSE the codes are so high here, there are many buidings that with stood Charllie better than others. As of today, they have most of the hospitals, EMS (Goofy's business just got electricity a few minutes ago) and essential services up and running to help the public. Simply amazing effort from all concerned! There will be many stories to tell for years about Charlie, including that this was the worst hurricane to hit landfall in the USA EVER, but luckly we are hear still to tell them, eh? the rest is all just material stuff! A warm hug to all of you out there effected and to those of you who are offering help to others!
