Homeowners: What to Do Before and After a Hurricane Hits Though it is wise to brace your property against hurricane damage, the unfortunate reality is that many homes are not prepared. According to a recent ServiceMaster Restore Franchise Hurricane Preparedness Survey, 90 percent of hurricane restoration servicers surveyed believe homeowners are ill-prepared when it comes to hurricanes. The same amount agreed that homeowners can spend up to twice as much on repairs if they do not take simple precautions in advance. "We can't stress enough the importance of having a plan," says Kim Brooks, president and CEO of ServiceMaster DSI. "Unfortunately, people often don't take weather warnings seriously, and once they do, panic sets in and they run out of time to take care of simple precautions to secure their property. Knowing what to do before and after a major storm, and knowing when to call in the professionals for assistance, including who to call, can help home and business owners avoid costly damage to their properties in the long run."

Coffee is the gas in my tank, the end of my rainbow and allows me a quiet moment of reflection. In the recent years, we all have been exposed to an insurmountable types of coffee. I often think someone should create a dictionary with all the terms, types and concoctions of coffee available. Truly the phrases bandied about are a language unto themselves.

Well, it is Wednesday again and believe it or not, it is nearly May. As always, we are planning ahead for this coming weekend and the events Fort Lauderdale has to offer us. South Florida  provides an exciting lifestyle as there are numerous venues and things to do. As in most large metropolitan areas, there are vast opportunities to have family fun and learn something new. Center stage, so to speak is a travelling exhibit entitled: Brain: The World Inside Your Head. This exhibit examines our organic mission control, our onboard computer so to speak, our brain a.k.a gray matter. Unlike this man made computer that I sit feverishly typing away on, our brain creates every movement, thought, idea and simple action we create. In a nutshell, our brain creates our life and as the title of the exhibit indicates, our brain creates “The World” inside our very own head.
