    We used to stay for a weekend every November in a mountain cabin 3 miles as the . . . . bat flies from Bat Cave, North Carolina.

    We have bat caves up 281 toward Austin. I'll see a small swarm of them flying around my street feeding on mosquitos during the evening.

    They say we have been in drought conditions for the 2nd half of summer. I wanted it to end, but not exactly in this way...

    This is what a bridge near me looked like in Sept 2009 when we received more than 15" of rain in a day. Notice the distance between the power lines and the water.

    Looking at photos of that 36 foot sailboat elsewhere it appears to have been in halfa$$ condition, so no surprise the engine failed.
