I just spoke with Peter. He's alive and well, still in business,
although, in his words, "Everything around us is destroyed." He
thanks everyone for their concern. His phone works now.
After a previous flood, he took the hint and bought a house on TOP of
a hill. His neighborhood made the news, and what with having to take
a boat to the greenhouse to (get this!) *water* the plants, the media
made a sort of humorous human-interest story out of it. Who says
floods can't be fun?
Pete says they should be back to normal in 3 weeks or so, and he
expects the spring price list to be ready in early March. Anyone who
ordered last year will receive it automatically.
All you Bobs fans out there: Let's hear a rousing chorus of "Mopping,
mopping, mopping".
Becky and other CAlifornians, how are you making out in all of this?
