The results of my routine colonoscopy this morning were totally normal but I was advised to take it easy for the rest of the day. Although instructed not to operate any power tools, I was unable to convince Jeanine that this pertained to unloading of the dish washer. I spent most of my time riveted to the TV watching coverage of hurricane Irma. Two years ago I visited many parts of Florida including the Keys. I fear that many of the places I visited will be altered forever. Pictured above is Fort Jefferson on a tiny island which comprises the Dry Tortugas National Park (located at the western most end of the archipelago) and Key West (pictured below). You can see how low lying these areas are. In addition, I stopped at many places along the way including the Turtle Hospital in Marathon and the Laura Quinn Wild Bird Sanctuary in Tavernier. I am praying for the safety of everyone in the path of the storm and hoping that these very special places will not be damaged beyond restoration.
