With $4 million likely coming from the gas and oil royalties, the state plans to add about $1.2 million in insurance proceeds, $2.3 million of Federal Emergency Management Agency funding, and $1.5 million from a state park bond issue to come up with the pier's $9 million price.
True that, I guess.
Still, I meant definition #1 not #3...

Hmmm, maybe all those furloughed gubment workers will be at the pier this week?

It may be funny that they won't be getting paid, unless they were your customers and won't be spending their paychecks on you. That's probably not quite as funny. :( We're all entitled to our own ideas of what's funny.Quote:

Back on the topic of the storm, even if it makes land-fall in southern mexico, what will the seas be like? I haven't been out in a storm in a boat in a while (and i mean A WHILE), are we talking 3-5' white caps? breaking? or swells?
