Well, 'nothing to do' as far as operations, but the 'lame' federal government paid $2.3 million so the pier would exist today for you to stand on. That's considerably more than the $1.5 million the taxpayers of Alabama financed with a bond issue.

With $4 million likely coming from the gas and oil royalties, the state plans to add about $1.2 million in insurance proceeds, $2.3 million of Federal Emergency Management Agency funding, and $1.5 million from a state park bond issue to come up with the pier's $9 million price.

True that, I guess.

It may be funny that they won't be getting paid, unless they were your customers and won't be spending their paychecks on you. That's probably not quite as funny. We're all entitled to our own ideas of what's funny.

Go fishing now Bill!

Back on the topic of the storm, even if it makes land-fall in southern mexico, what will the seas be like? I haven't been out in a storm in a boat in a while (and i mean A WHILE), are we talking 3-5' white caps? breaking? or swells?
