Thank you! Ya the mountains are beautiful as long as we don't hit another drought otherwise I'm staring at a brown fire prone mountain lol. My home insurance renewal this year was $9,500.

The gulf has its own beauty to it for sure.
Yes it definitely does! I feel your pain on the insurance. We get hit pretty hard on insurance down here in Hurricane Hurricaneville too.

Oh no! See my title under my name 😂.

You don't have to wait for any algae to be on your rocks for the tang IMO as long as they're eating
White lights are for goldfish!

Agreed about the algae though!

Sorry for all the blues, it looks way whiter until I take the picture
I think so. It has the blueish streaks and that unique texture. Here's something you won't hear me say often... Can you turn up the white lights a bit?

I did a rare thing today and wore a skirt to work instead of my usual dress pants and I feel so girly. Lol its a long flowing type of skirt which makes me feel even more girly. Lol you guys probably don't get it but Alycia might. Anyone else notice how certain clothes make you feel different?
When I went the skirt route, I got a different reaction. I did feel pretty though, even if my beard clashed with the look.

The kids were afraid...My wife had questions... It went south fast.

Id bet everything I owned that you're doing a much better job.
