Southern Belle and Handsome Hombre update

Southern Belle and Handsome Hombre returned to South Miami about 3:30 on Wednesday.  S.B. was chomping at the bit to get back to work.

They live in a 560 square foot garage that they rent.  Rent in Miami area is steep.  I think they pay about $1200 a month.  Their landlord only lost one tree and a power pole but the yard next to their landlord's lost six trees.

This needs to be taken with a grain of salt.  Trees down there look like something you would use to dust Venetian blinds.  Still, it makes a jumbled mess and the sticks are interlaced with power wires.

The stink of the food that had been left in the fridge and freezer drove Southern Belle out of the house.  Handsome Hombre did the manly thing and took care of that mess.

Both SB and HH are solid Christians.  HH informed me that he saw it as Jesus washing the disciple's feet.  The definition of a Christian is "Someone who is called to act as Christ did."  If so, then cleaning the dripping, putrid "chubs" out of the freezer is not much different than cleaning camel and donkey urine splatter and feces off your student's feet.

Power came on about 3:30 this afternoon.

SB reports to work tomorrow.

Things are returning to normal.

And I am guessing that they will not leave meat in the freezer the next time they invite a hurricane to Miami.
