Tragic News...
I just got out of staff meeting. I found out that my favorite restaraunt in Florida, Hamilton's, where they cook a steak darn near as good as mine, was blown away by hurricane Ivan. The good news is, they are going to build it back. I hope it's built before I go back next year and that it is as good.

The sentiment was the same up and down the battered Gulf Coast. Cranes lifted debris all day, and power tools whirred. Someone spray-painted "Hurricane who?" on the plywood protecting the windows of a motel in Panama City Beach. A boat was turned upside down on the side of the street. At Hamilton's Restaurant and Lounge there, Ray Pettis vowed to rebuild even though shreds of his roof were found two miles away.
"We've survived 11 different hurricanes," said Pettis, who has worked at the restaurant for more than half of his 37 years. "We've been here too long to just let it go."
