Speaking of JC, this was in the Charlotte County Newspaper on Sept 13:

Top 10 list offers respite from storm worries

Punta Gorda Isles resident Jim Druyor has the right idea -- it's OK to laugh again.

A la David Letterman, Druyor created a hurricane-induced "Top 10" list around 1 a.m. Sunday morning and faxed it to the Charlotte Sun.

"I'd had some of these thoughts for a while, and I couldn't sleep because I was worrying about (Hurricane) Ivan, so I though I'd write," said Druyor, 60.

Here, then, are Druyor's "Ten Ways to Tell If You Live in Charlotte County":

1. Primary means of communication is graffiti on your garage door.

2. Friends ask, "Where are you evacuating to this weekend?"

3. You know what time the tropical update starts.

4. FEMA's phone number is on your speed dial.

5. You can change a tire in 5 minutes flat.

6. You know Wayne's last name. (NOTE: The head of Charlotte County EOC.. warned us for years that this could happen)

7. You think "Red Cross" is a popular new restaurant.

8. Your gas tank hasn't been below three-quarters in five weeks.

9. Blue is now your favorite color.

10. Jim Cantore is standing in your back yard.
