And the answer is…

Quacko has a house in the Hamptons. He’s a Long Island Duck.

Today’s quiz: Sure, Quacko lives in a little trailer (just like t5he one I grew up in), but he has a house elsewhere. Where is it? (hint: Quacko’s first appearance)

Thanks for you kind comments from yesterday. We are getting back to normal. My car is in the shop, though.

We got lucky. The center of the storm was 15 miles south of us. We have a southern exposure, and if it had gone up Tampa Bay it would have been much worse. We were right on the northern edge of the eye, and the wind shear had made it not so well defined. Minimal damage to our house. Pool screens were torn, My fence is leaning in places, lost a small tree, and my little gumbo limbo has no leaves. My one remaining large palm is history.

We had evacuated to my sister-in-law’s condo. The worst damage was to my car. You can see the tail end of it on the far left under the collapsed roof of the carport. Back window was smashed plus other damage.

Thank you all for your kind words of encouragement.

I’m in the bull’s eye. I’ll be hor’s de combat for the next week. I live in Palma Sola, right on the south entrance of Tampa Bay. Wish me luck. Hopefully I’ll be back on this next Sunday. My power will probably be off for a week or two. Meanwhile…
