    Ideas like this is why you guys pay me the big bucks.
    Now we are talking. I will just put the money I would have spent on insurance into pontoons and a navy surplus destroyer anchor.

    Don't forget to buy a long chain when you get the anchor.

    Highest point in FL is 345’ above sea level. But that is practically Abalama…

    I wouldn't mess with an anchor, just a really good locator beacon with backup batteries.

    Anything south of Okeechobee is practically sea level. I've seen Ariel photos of down there that basically say, swamp. Really big swamp. The bridges over the intercoastal are the only hills.

    Cmon guys. Thankfully 30’ of sea rise isn’t happening in our lives, nor our kids or grandkids lives. 3’ by 2100 maybe. Well unless a meteor hits Antarctica or something.

    30’ of sea level rise? No.

    30’ of storm surge? Maybe? It’s all water…

    NEWS IN BRIEF

    Fannie Mae Issues Billions Of Mortgage-Backed NFTs

    Yesterday 11:10AM

    Alerts



    WASHINGTON—Calling it a no-risk investment guaranteed to appreciate in value over time, Fannie Mae officials announced Thursday that the lender had issued billions of Mortgage-backed NFTs. “This is as stable as they come, over the entire history of NFTs, they have only appreciated in value,” said CEO Hugh Frater, who noted that the collections of bundled NFTs have received a triple-A rating from every major credit agency. “We believe NFTs are the new cornerstone of American investment and savings, something that everyone should tie their retirement to if they are trying to be conservative. We’ve also sliced-and-diced stable NFTs with less secure NFTs and repackaged them to protect our investors from risk. That way, the only problem would be if the entire NFT market crashed, which we see as a total impossibility.” At press time, Fannie Mae was entering the futures market by hedging their mortgages against the future price of NFTs.

    On the bright side, it might flood, which should make cleanup easier

    With that amount of staging, I’m guessing there are chocolate chip cookies in the oven for the open house.

    That's pretty wild.
