Good Morning. Living in South Florida has many perks. Hurricane season is not one of them. I was here for the devastation that came in 2004 and 2005. Charlie and Frances and Jeanne and Katrina were all a major pain in the ass, but Wilma was complete insanity. The roof of the 2 family I lived in was ripped off, my office had no power for 2 weeks and everyone was kind of in a daze. Driving around here is not a safe or enjoyable experience to begin with, throw in no stoplights and the fact that all the street signs were blown down and the total darkness at night, it was basically a 50/50 proposition that you would survive a car ride any where. Not to mention it was about 90 degrees each day with 95 percent humidity, try that with no air conditioning. It gets old real fast.
Now that I’m a homeowner, many weekends in June and July are spent preparing for the worst. Making sure my hurricane shutters are all ready to go, changing the oil and making sure my generator is ready to go. Stock piling batteries, extra propane tanks for the grill and water, water, water. I am not a fan of bottled water, the reasons why are for a different post, but its amazing how much of it I will drink when the power is out and we are under a boil water order. Yesterday, I spent the day rewiring the plug on my water pump (I have a well) so that it will plug into my generator. I am a pretty handy guy, but electricity is not a strength of mine and actually scares the crap out of me. I know just enough about it to get me killed. So I did what any smart person would do. I hired a professional begged my electrician friend to come over and do it for free. I paid him in these. Job completed.
The good part about hurricane prep is that I get to grill all the frozen meat from the freezer every weekend, can’t have it go bad with the power out. Steak is good.
Never ceases to amaze, get professional advice before giving your coin to someone.
I wonder if she felt stabbed in the back when Chrissy bitched about the grunting.
Money ruined changed the game, maybe lack of it will fix change it back.
3 dead pugilists in a week.
As a Mets fan, it has been a brutal 6 weeks. But dude, STFU.
More Mets, the highlight of this link is comment #2.
Because the boss likes swimming and used to inhale. HA!
Get in line Greg, get in line.
Why didn’t someone tell these kids that there is no reason to cheat at FSU, just win and everything else will be taken care of?
How do get an FSU grad off your porch? You pay him for the pizza. (oldie but goodie)
Jeebus, I’m older than all these “washed up” players except Carter, and I thought he retired 3 years ago.
Next year, we need to send Big D.
Just curious, did anyone let Tom know about this guys plight? I’m by no means a Brady fan, but I think he would have let the dude off the hook.
Just because: Craigslist rules! Miz, know this guy?

Nice try, we all know central Florida didn’t have electricity till 1992. patphish(Quote)
Why would that system of groundhog elimination need to be improved upon? It’s already perfect. knightwhosaysni(Quote)
