[Leica] Safe and out of the flood area

[grduprey at mchsi.com (grduprey@mchsi.com)]

Hi Chris,

Just one hell of a lot of water.  ;-)   Who knows that is as good as any 
excuse/reason.  I'm sure it has somthing to do with all the crazy weather 
around the world this year.

I'm glad we are not home right now, but we do have friends in the flooded 
areas of town, and have offered our house to any of them who need it, but 
luckily they all tell us they are well and have places to stay.  Our 
neighbors are keeping us appraised on our house.
