El,

I've been keeping abreast of the storm through my daughter. Sorry to hear about your water problems. Roofs can be expensive. Does your roof have to be fireproof? I expect that we will have to replace our roof in the next couple of years. Ours will be expensive. On one side they have to use climbing gear because the incline is 12:1

My daughter seems to be okay. Her plan for last night and today was to shelter in place. I told that was okay, but she needed to dig a hole for that orange tree she bought a year ago. Earlier in the year, I had suggested that she rent a jackhammer, but she was unwilling to go that far. I Skyped her, and she still hasn't dug that hole.

I had an endoscopy with a balloon to correct a stricture. I have acid reflux, hiatal hernia, and a spasmodic esophagus. The endoscopy showed no scaring from the acid reflux and the balloon seems to have eased the number of times my esophagus spasms. My gastro doc and I have decided that we will try peppermint tea for now. If things get worse, then we will look into mobility studies. With no scarring, he doesn't seem to be worried about the acid reflux.
