I hope you reach her soon. I wonder if there is difficulty with cell phones from evacuation centers. I heard they had evacuated that area several hours ago.

Oh, No! Not the castle!

It was built by someone I know and was filled with wonderful antiques and stuff. It was a labor of love when he built it, importing the stones from England, fitting the bathrooms with antique basins, etc.

As to the think-tank, it used to be a Hughes operation (I don’t know about now). The entrance was right across the road from the gate to enter the castle.

Celebrities go to Church? This must be a new phenomena. I would like to know exactly what are they worshiping. The trees, birds, BJ Clintoon?

This is a mystery.
