Lily’s Lagniappe: Very hot in Tucson, 111 degrees but because of no humidity to speak of it feels like the upper eighties.

Yesterday at the University of Florida Phillips Center we watched my nephew become Dr. Chance Stutesman, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. He will begin work after he passes his State Boards in North Carolina. It was a great ceremony. The next morning we get up and were going to travel home when we received a phone call from my brother-in-law that Interstate 95 was down to one lane and a 4 to 5 hour back up. So we found an alternate route through the countryside of South Carolina. I guess I would have enjoyed it if I wasn’t looking for water on the roadway or flooding. We traveled a way folks used to go to the coast before interstates; boy were we troopers.
Lily’s Lagniappe: Tropical Storm Bonnie savaged the South Carolina coast with some surfs and water. Stay safe SC peeps!
