update
ok here we are. well the state of florida is back under state of emergency again! for brush fire's. we have one right now just north of us on the county line ( about 20 miles away) and last report its 2500 acres and growin. they say we are looking at another year like back in 98 when we had our fires, at one point in time 75% of the county's had fires at the same time, and by the end every county in the entire state had been on fire. we had fire fighters from all around the world literately here to help with them they we're from germany,japan, austraila, new zeland and more! sue was workin two shifts shuttleling the fire fighters from place to place and from hotels to the fires and drop off points. they even canceled the july race here to use the speedway for a campground type place fror fire fighters. just now on the news there is three burning in cental florida, what joyous news! the smoke is all over the place here looks like fog. its real bad in the morning till the winds pic up, the only good news to this is so far no homes have been burnt in 98 they lost hundreds of homes let alone the wildlife and peoples pets, horses and livestock, ok on a lighter note the rodeo went ok for sue she did ok but no win this time, her and the others that were not from where it was had a hard time because it was all different equipment from there's and no time to get to know the new stuff they had to use, but she still had a great time and is gonna go after it again next year. we started fishin again on sun and she wipped me good so the fight is on now!!! we'll take the camera this weekend if we go, we are having a competition to see who catches the most flounder this year from now till the end of the year, so far she's up by two!!! ok i'll update on sunday night to let everyone know whats goin on then.

Hey Mike,
I'd totally love to see some pictures of your guys fishin' out in the ocean. And some of your flounder. we have big flounder out here to in the Puget Sound. Uglies looking fish I think God ever put on the planet. Blah!
Sorry about not winning, Sue. We were sure cheering for you out here. The derby sounds wicked fun. We'd love to see pictures next year (hint hint, mike! :)) But glad you had a good time either way.
Stay safe down there guys, those fires make us nervous!
Love,
Heather and Gang
