Now you can plan your next visit to Florida and include a fun visit to the only Erotica Museum in USA.
Meanwhile here in Florida we are facing our yearly hurricane season. For the last month, we had typical summer weather.
It is hot, sunny or hazy in the morning. Sometimes we are lucky to enjoy a slight breeze. Around noon the wind picks up, the clouds threaten, the surf heightens. Before you know it, you are drenched with pouring rain while lightning and thunder compete in the darkened sky.
When I am home at my desk, typing on my computer, I can immediately see the change as the rain pellets against the window and my office turns dark. It is time to switch on the light and switch off the computer.
After facing this warning on a daily base, one can’t help worrying about hurricanes, especially when we are still recovering from the mess caused by Hurricane Wilma.
Writers from FRW are exchanging advice on how to protect their precious files. Some use an online 'storage' like Yahoo briefcase. Others send an out-of-state family member a disk/flash drive with their current work in process. Many email themselves with their own files as attachment.
In my household, my husband has networked my computer, his laptop and an external back-up hard disc, a small box that is easy to carry if we have to evacuate. Still, I prefer to save my own files on a flash drive every night.
While we hope that Mother Nature will spare us this year and Wilma will remain a memory, how do you protect your work during hurricane season in the South, tornadoes in the Midwest (I faced a memorable tornado ten years ago in Cincinnati) or blizzard and disaster time if you live in the North?
