Yeah, I went off the grid for a few days attending the Melanated Campout in Cordele GA. I've been a homeowner in Tampa since 2011 and lived in West Palm Beach for almost two years. I have never been seriously impacted by a hurricane -- never even lost power (our lines are underground). Now I have been impacted by storms in New York City -- one was so severe it shut down Wall Street for days flooding subway to the ceiling and damn near wiping Far Rockaway off the map. @Pioneer1 I think Florida is a great place to live--despite our wacky governor 😉

Thank you! I wished it away, and Mother Nature covered the entire city of South Fulton, including our very vocal and beloved Black Mayor. We did get high winds, and some branches and trees took a hit. I know we were at risk of flash flooding, but the creeks are a distance from my subdivision. Our water plant failed, so we have a boil order in place. And get this... Effing Bio Labs in Conyers, GA, caught fire... and these folks installed water sprinklers that respond to fires, including chemical fires, so we are at risk of chlorine poisoning tod . EPA is testing the air - and we just got a notification that our air is a "janky." Hi All!!! 👋

Hello, My name is Yalonda Neff and I am a collector of African-American books with the lion's share of my collection being African American Studies. I have also started a Facebook group called "African-American Book Collecting". The group is public so you can easily find it by putting in the title. The group comprises other collectors of Black books, ephemera, and other print materials. I have created this topic to connect with other collectors of Black books or print materials.
